I just opened the app to see what else I can bring up, and while clicking through UI I noticed I had some crappy key bindings extension installed, which apparently caused many of my annoyances.

I've probably installed it very long ago, or even by accident.

For example, I was always annoyed that open file/directory shortcut (one of most common operations) is not assigned and requires mouse interaction -- fixed by disabling the extension. Go to file shortcuts does something completely different -- fixed by disabling the extensions.

I likely won't adopt Cursor as my main IDE/Editor, but it's miles better than I thought just an hour ago.

Thanks for your question :D
