New Cursor Chat Feature Is Extremely Annoying

Hi guys!
As you can see on the image, there is a text bar, appearing right at the cursor position.

And the problem with that latest feature is that it completely ruins the hotkeys. So, as you can see in the attached video, if I press my hotkeys ( E / P / V ) too fast (which obviously happens all the time), the text bar appears, and all of the following hotkey commands are converted to text, doing nothing. So I cannot call any of hotkey commands while this text bar is shown.

So I need to hover my mouse over the icons (which is too hard to do 10 times in a minute). Other option is to press BackSpace to delete all the text, which makes the text bar dissappear a little bit faster imho.

Again, it happens so much during a standard usage of board, so, guys, please, make an option to switch this text bar off for permanent, please!

I see another thread where this incredibly annoying “feature” ruins someone’s hot keys, but this also runs the interaction with Table Cells now. Is there anyway to turn this off?
Before whatever this is was implemented (Cursor Chat or something?) you used to be able to select a cell in a table and start typing. Now the text appears in a word bubble next to your cursor. 
You must click a second time in the cell which just places your cursor in the cell. 
Previously if you had a cell selected and not a double click to edit, typing would replace the contents of the cell. This feature has ruined that previous functionality. I don’t need to “Cursor Chat” to myself. I just want tables to work the way they used to. Does anyone at Miro use their own product?

​@Maxim Karpov The new feature is called Cursor Chat and it is currently in public beta (I tweaked your post slightly to call out the new name).

More on the feature here: https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/39970518294674-Cursor-chat

I has a similar experience today where I was using V to toggle between select and pan which was inadvertently triggering this new feature — very frustrating!

Another user has already created a wish list idea post to request this feature be removed (or at least an open to disable). You might want to upvote it here:
