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.

the Text Area Portal idea is genuinely clever, basically turning any input field into something you can edit in your actual editor instead of fighting with cursor placement. feels like a really thoughtful gap to fill.

@observability Thanks! Editing text fields in VS Code is indeed much more comfortable, especially for longer or more complex text.
Besides Text Area Portal, Input Mode also provides a set of keyboard shortcuts to avoid fighting with cursor placement. You can navigate and select text by searching for content, making it much easier to edit text even in fields that normally have limited keyboard support.
