Cursor Crane 1.1.0 expands keyboard-first automation on macOS with declarative workflows, multi-element selection, and improved scripting APIs.
Declarative workflows let you turn fixed sequences of built-in actions into reusable commands without writing JavaScript logic, state, or forms. They are especially useful for turning hard-to-remember shortcuts into command sequences. For example, in Xcode, similar actions such as:
Move Focus to Next Editor Pane
Jump to Next Issue
Jump to Next Change
can be turned into three workflow and mapped to commands "ne", "ni", and "nc".
Most hint-based Mac tools focus on UI elements. Cursor Crane extends the same interaction model to windows, multi-window workflows, and text editing. Its dedicated modes use predictable rather than arbitrary hints. Enter command sequences to switch modes, perform actions, or run scripts. It also makes awkward keyboard-only tasks practical: selecting text across lines, editing focused fields in an external editor with Text Area Portal, and copying text or capturing UI through Element Menu.
