Use Cases
Use cases are grouped by subject. Open a subject to see the docs inside it.
Move the Mouse and Manage Windows with the Keyboard
Choose whether you want to move the pointer, focus another window, or change a window’s layout. These are separate operations in Cursor Crane.
Window management
Switch, favorite, adjust, and move windows without reaching for the mouse.
Click Mac Controls with the Keyboard
Choose a target by hint, click where the pointer already is, or combine a click with a modifier. Start with the action you want the receiving app to perform.
Copy and Select Non-Editable Text on Mac
Choose a method based on how the app exposes its content. A read-only text field, a selectable document, and an image of text do not offer the same operations.
Drag and Drop Items Between Mac Windows
Pick up draggable items before moving to their destination. Cursor Crane’s Grab and Drop workflow separates collecting items from completing the drop.
Find, Select, and Edit Text with the Keyboard on Mac
Work inside a supported text field with Input Mode, or send its contents to an external editor. Choose the workflow by the change you want to make.
Automate Repeated Mac Actions with Cursor Crane
Use a declarative workflow for a fixed sequence, or a JavaScript form for a task that needs input and choices. Both can be assigned a command sequence or shortcut.
