"Bar" composer β€” adding context and resetting

Hi, been a subscriber to Cursor for about half a year now so I have been just trying to keep up with all the changes.

I was one of the folks that really loved the floating composer and am glad that you brought it back (kind of).

However, I have been missing the ability to simply cmd+I to add lines of code as context to the new bar view of the composer.

As stands, when I key in cmd+I, the bar goes back to being a side panel composer, requiring me to shift+cmd+K to open it up as a bar again. This is so tedious β€” is there any way we could just leave it as a bar when a bar is already open? Open to any suggested workarounds as well…

I guess while I am here I would like to suggest two more things:

  1. We should be able to β€œreset” the composer while in bar view β€” this incredibly helpful in previous iterations when the requests started to hang.

  2. We should be able to install specific versions of Cursor. I would like to be able to upgrade without worrying about not loving the new changes. Honestly (and I may be biased since it was the first version I tried, but) I felt more productive on the version I started with months ago. I would very much like to feel supported thru backwards compatibility since some of these UI changes can be a bit jarring, and they have had the tendency to remove features I found helpful.

Anyway, thanks for reading and keep up the innovative work.

Here is the old composer, which I found quite useful!

Hey, thanks for your suggestions - we do have a few die-hard fans of the old Composer view!

I’ve logged down your suggestions for the team to take a look at, so you may see some improvements in a future update!

Open as bar function dismissed in 0.46. I feel sad.

Could you add open agent as bar in new version?
