🚫 Deprecated!

Cursor added Composer Boop's original functionality natively + changed some of the tech I was using to detect composer completions. Rather than fix this add-on, you should just use the new Cursor setting.

Just enable the the "Play Sound on Finish" option and you'll get your boop when composer is ready.

Composer Boop

A VS Code extension that plays a sound notification when you stop typing in Cursor's composer window.

Why?

Cursor's Composer / Chat is awesome, but I found it pretty hard to keep track of long-running updates (especially in agent mode!). I made this simple extension to give some feedback when there's an "Accept Change" prompt. It's been pretty helpful for me when multitasking while Cursor does its thing.

Caveats

This is pretty jank due to VS Code's extension security model and the lack of a way to detect when Cursor's composer is open. In lieu of this, I'm just looking at change events on the chat / composer's code blocks. It's not 100% reliable, but it gets the job done.

Hoping that Cursor adds this feature natively soon!
