Using CueSpec
Open tasks, record, edit, attach evidence and update. These guides use documented actions rather than borrowing another product’s UI or shortcuts.
A useful starting route
All articles in this collection
Open a task and its reply draft
Choose a task from CueSpec’s list to read its latest answer and prepare a reply.
Record with Fn hold and release
The documented Fn route starts capture while you hold the key and finishes when you release it.
Use hold-to-record in the reply field
The reviewed Mac release includes a reply-field hold-to-record interaction: hold to speak and release to convert speech into text.
Edit a draft before sending
Treat the transcript as editable working text.
Add and remove reply attachments
The reviewed Mac release supports pasting screenshots, images and files into a reply and removing unwanted attachments before sending.
Paste a screenshot and check its appearance
Screenshot paste is supported in the reviewed Mac release, and a color-handling fix received real-user confirmation.
Move the desktop panel between screens
CueSpec’s desktop panel can be dragged between screens, and the reviewed release improves title-area and surrounding-space dragging.
Use the status overview to find the failing stage
The status overview separates local model readiness, macOS permissions, Codex state and service connectivity.
Update CueSpec without interrupting a draft
The published Mac update route checks and downloads in the background, then installs when you deliberately quit.
Migrate from an older CueSpec update source
CueSpec 0.2.1 and earlier, plus versions using the old GitHub update source, need one manual replacement with the published Mac package.
Read Codex quota separately from CueSpec service usage
CueSpec’s Mac companion includes a Codex quota view.
Use desktop utilities without confusing them with agent control
The Mac product material lists music control, prevent-sleep, mute and desktop-icon visibility utilities.
