Is there any way to enable global context while using cursor composer?

Cursor composer is a powerful feature back starts lacking when you try to use it in already existing large codebases thus making me fallback to the earlier chat like window where we need to edit/apply each file manually.

Is there any way to enable global context for cursor composer similar to that of cmd L chat?

I’m having the same issue moving from chat to composer in an existing file, would love some help with how to start using composer to build more complex features in an existing project.

I have the same problem. I thought maybe it was just me. But I see I’m not the only one.
The whole UX is confusing:

  • one composer vs several composers
  • no explanation of the context taken into account (knows where to place files but misses many things - i.e. files that are already there or the template language used)

IMHO composer is great to boot up new apps. Not so good for existing ones unless the scope of what you are asking is very clear.

Maybe Cursor team could consider something like Long Context Composer, which would be more expensive like Long Context Chat, but it could provide better results in large codebases.
