About Cursor Crane
Cursor Crane is a specialized productivity tool designed for macOS that empowers users to control their Mac entirely at the pace of their keyboard. While most hint-based Mac tools traditionally focus only on isolated UI elements, Cursor Crane expands this powerful interaction model to encompass entire windows, multi-window workflows, and complex text editing tasks.
Built with dedicated modes utilizing predictable rather than arbitrary hints, Cursor Crane allows you to seamlessly enter command sequences to switch modes, execute actions, or run custom scripts. It brilliantly bridges the gap for awkward keyboard-only workflows—enabling you to easily select text across lines, edit focused fields within an external editor using the Text Area Portal, and quickly copy text or capture UI elements via the Element Menu.
