"Open in Composer" option missing in Chat

[mwjt42]

This was a super helpful button - now not showing in 43.4

Yes where is this it was one of the essential features to transition from chat to composer…
Am a paying customer from the start and downgrading to previous version is a first in all of my software use…Ill wait 24 hours see if a new update will bring it back.

Having to go back a version is not a good look and have you thought of a poll, it lowers the risk

Same here! Why would they remove this super helpful feature???

[digitalhero]

Same here, I also was hoping to find a way to carry over context from one composer chat to another, because I don’t know if other get this issue, but my composer window keeps getting stuck on generating … after a while (idk if its context window or chat size getting too big) and I have to start a new composer chat and have no way of moving the context over, need to start explaining from scratch

Open composer from Chat and transferring the conversation was a very useful feature. It used to work via Command+I, but it is no longer working.

[KerrieMariah]

Same issue, sometimes when i do the hotkey for composer it appears in a tiny tiny little bar and it doesn’t generate any text or anything, like a free floating waste

I have two machines - w10 and w11 - else, exact physical same machine.

Cursor 44.9 on w10 has Composer button… w11 does not.

Invoke composer with ctrl+I (i) – and it will pull up the composer window - so as the button is missing, the kbd bindings work…

So I just use that.

Notepads are still wonky and cursor isnt using them properly yet…

[dddraxxx]

Need to bring this ctrl+i feature back!

[SoMaCoSF]

huh…

WELP…

CTRL + I → Composer window on Windows10, Cursor 44.9…

However, below is Composers response to:

The onlt “…+ i” command in the keyboard output from composer is “ALT + SHIFT + I”

Notes

• Keybindings may vary slightly depending on your editor and configuration
• Some editors allow customization of these shortcuts
• Mac users: Cmd is equivalent to Command key
• Windows users: Ctrl is equivalent to Control key
