Dear Willem,
you don't need to create a new composer. Procedure may depend on your QGIS
version, in elder versions the window to select an item may be missing. 

First select the map item in the composer view (right column). In the item
properties tab (below) scroll to the extents section. There you can find the
two buttons "set to map canvas extent" and "view extent in map canvas". 

Click the first one to transfer your map window extent coordinates (your
"view") to your composer map extents (your "composer"). That's what you
wanted to do as I understand it. 

With the second button you might do the reverse: transfer the composer map
extent coordinates (your "composer") to your map window (your "view"). 

Regards, Christine
