“Start typing on the canvas. Cursor chat opens with what you typed.”
This feature is blocking other hotkeys, I basically cannot switch tools without opening cursor chat.
If I try to press two hotkeys for panning (h) and eraser (e) it will open cursor chat instead of switching to eraser.
I suggest that cursor chat will open only on specific hotkeys.

    Hi, Quebec Nova!

    I have the same problem, and I've already upvoted your post, please, help me with mine Miro Post. I hope, together we will solve this faster ☺️🙏

      Hello, Eca!

      Please, read my post about this problem (post link), I attached a video to show how this feature completely blocks all the hotkeys for a couple of seconds. I think this feature must be turned to a switch mode, so a user can turn it off completely with a single button. By the way, what is the idea of this feature? I don't understand 🫣

        ​@Eca This is really one of the most annoying features so far. Why not make these things optional so they don’t affect all of our very well established workflows? Have you tried using tables since this feature has been enabled?

          Please please please please make this toggle-able, I am so slowed down by this. I work on HUGE boards and I use hotkeys for hours every day, this new feature adds no value and is the biggest headache. I do not use Miro for synchronous work, so this “chat” function is actively reducing Miro’s functionality for me. I don’t understand how this was tested and launched with no consideration of the impact that it has on the core functionality of this software.

            I want to add that I do use it to work with other people (just 2 people on one board), and it’s completely useless, because usually you just use voice chat outside Miro, so you don’t need any cursor chat. This feature only usable on large scale collaboration boards, which I think is quite rare. So yes, adding ability to completely disable cursor chat is also will be a good consideration.
