Exit and Temporary Exit

You can press Control + Esc to exit the current mode and return to Command Mode.

To close the whole claw machine and return to normal mouse control, press Shift + Control + Esc .

If you entered a cursor mode by holding a shortcut, you can also release the shortcut keys to exit the mode. This allows you to quickly return to normal cursor control without needing to press Esc every time.

For example, if the shortcut is Control + Option + Command + C , you can:

  1. Hold Control + Option + Command + C to enter the mode.
  2. Hold at least one key, for example Control , to stay in the mode.
  3. Then release all keys to exit the mode.

In most modes, you can press Control + Esc to exit the current mode and return to Command Mode. In some modes, Esc has mode-specific behavior, so use Control + Esc when you want to leave the mode intentionally.

You can temporarily disable Cursor Claw by entering Input Mode or Raw Input Mode, so you can type text normally.
