This was IMO very useful if one has only limited monitor space, but one can’t close the window because one e.g. still reviews changes made by the composer. I noticed in 0.44 this was not allowed anymore.

Hey, it looks like you mean the floating Composer window. You can bring it up with the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + K or Cmd + Shift + K.

I’m new here, but the composer window I get via ctrl-shift-k is floating, but only inside of cursor. I would be nice if it could be moved to my second monitor.

Hey, you can try this method:

> [@Moving Chat window to another screen?](https://forum.cursor.com/t/moving-chat-window-to-another-screen/30435/2):
>
> if you click “open Chat as Editor”, then right click on the tab and select “Move into New window” you should be able to!
