In 0.38, I had Composer in the right hand side bar as a tab (inbetween Chat and Review). But in 0.39, this isn’t possible. See below without Composer: ![Cursor_05_08_24_11h_33m46s465ms](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/2X/1/1f5773849742ba2a5488ad68bfbd15d7927285e4.png) Can you bring this back please? The full screen ‘control panel’ view is not a suitable replacement because it covers my entire VS Code screen, which is annoying. ---

I agree. This would make the process of using the composer more familiar. Currently I’m not using the composer much because it’s a new workflow I’m not accustomed to. Although on the second thought, I don’t know, maybe using the composer at the bottom and an additional llm in the sidebar would work better. I still need to try the composer workflow more to say for sure. ---

@AuspiciousSolitude - would it suit your needs to be able to drag Composer to its own screen? I have put in a bug report about that currently not working properly here: > [@Composer disappears when dragging it to another screen](https://forum.cursor.com/t/composer-disappears-when-dragging-it-to-another-screen/6766): > > I love Cursor and Composer slight_smile . I also love the pop-out/floating feature of Composer. (I would love it on Ctrl + L too). I mentioned it previously in a [post comment](https://forum.cursor.com/t/multi-file-edits-0-37-update/6425/23) but thought I would create a separate post for this behaviour, which seems to be unintentional. Composer ‘disappears’ when you try to drag it to another screen. See attached screenshot of undesired behaviour. Having Composer and Ctrl L in another screen would keep the Cursor interface free of distractions etc. I ac… I think being able to have any chat, both `Ctrl` + `L` or `Ctrl` + `I`, on its own screen would help keep the Editor space ‘clutter free’. I have found myself chatting with Chat GPT in my browser on another screen, just so I can keep the AI conversation and the code editor on separate screens. ---

It’s an option I’d use occasionally. But most of the time I have something else important on my other screen e.g. documentation, or dev version of the app running ---

I agree. The right side composer was useful in some situations, and if I open it up as a pane, it keeps hiding because a file will open. The interface needs upgrading and should be reviewed overall. ---
