Keyboard Focus Doesn't Follow Pointer Across Multi-Monitor Mac Setups
Mac users with multi-monitor setups find that keyboard focus stays locked to the previously active app when they move the pointer to another display, so global shortcuts fire in the wrong application. This is especially disruptive for people frequently switching between terminals, editors, and AI coding agents across screens.

surfaced semanticallyCursor Doesn't Follow Eye Gaze Across Dual Monitor Setup on Mac
Mac users with dual monitors report the cursor staying on the non-focused screen when their eyes shift to the other display, causing misclicks and interruptions. Users intuitively expect the cursor to follow their gaze or attention, but macOS provides no such mechanism. This creates friction particularly for users who frequently switch attention between screens.
Launch: Chaser, a macOS Utility That Captures UI Context Beyond Screenshots for AI Agents
A Show HN post launches Chaser, a local macOS utility using accessibility APIs to capture layout, button states, and object mappings beyond a plain screenshot, intended for giving AI coding agents richer context. This is a promotional launch rather than a first-person complaint.
Cursor Crane: Keyboard-Driven Mac Window Control Tool
A product listing for a hint-based Mac tool that extends keyboard-driven interaction beyond UI elements to windows, multi-window workflows, and text editing, using predictable rather than arbitrary hints. No specific user complaint is stated beyond describing the tool's scope.
Managing multiple AI coding agent terminals is painful and error-prone
Developers using multiple AI coding agents (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex) lose track of terminal windows and waste time context-switching. The problem is worse for those with RSI, as repetitive mouse/keyboard navigation causes physical pain.
Limelight: cursor spotlight and keystroke overlay tool
A developer built Limelight to solve their own frustration watching tutorials without being able to see cursor movement or keyboard shortcuts. This is a product showcase, not a user problem statement.
