Composer MIA - Frustrating

RESOLVED - for those people looking for Composer - it was merged with chat / agent to simplify UI. I think they may remove Composer references from Keybinds / other UI sections if / where references to it may or may not exist.

Thanks for the help fellas!

The composer has also disappeared for me since upgrading to the latest release!

Hey, actually, Agent and Edit are the same as Composer. We’ve combined them for your convenience. Edit is equivalent to Composer in normal mode, and Agent is the agent mode.

The Keybinds section still refers to Composer, and changing the keybind to open composer opens chat. I’m delighted that agent and edit are the same as composer, but I would advocate for updating all references to composer to agent - if you’re feeling frisky call it “SuperAgent” or “IntelliAgent”, and add that to the documentation, as I checked the documentation and couldn’t find a specific line mentioning removal of composer or merging it with chat. I looked for that specifically. I thought that might be the case but various chatter around Composer in the last 2-4 weeks made me think it was still there.

I no longer understand the difference between Agent, Edit, and Ask. To me it looks like Edit and Ask are basically the same thing? This could do with a doc update Cursor – Composer (well, an overview on the Editor parent heading). Thanks

The composer is also missing for me.

I don’t have an edit button with the agent feature.

If I click on ‘Chat’ in this screenshot it doesn’t do anything either.

why is this convenient? we’re using them for different tasks, sometimes simultaneously. use chat for intermittent questions while composer is doing feature development. also, composer doesnt work at all with jupyter notebooks, so using chat for notebook code and composer for feature dev at the same time. terrible UX decision tbh
