Cue 输入助手

给 Mac App Store 版 Cue 的一个小帮手：装上它，面板里的回车就能把验证码直接输入到 Mac App 的输入框。

Cue 输入助手

macOS 15 及以上 · 需要 Mac App Store 版 Cue

磁盘映像，由 Apple 公证；打开后把它拖到「应用程序」。

为什么需要它

商店版 Cue 运行在 App 沙盒里。系统不让沙盒里的 App 读取其他 App 的界面，也不让它替你按键，所以商店版 Cue 自己做不到「回车输入」。网页里不需要它：Cue 的浏览器扩展负责把验证码填进网页。要在 Mac App 里（终端、Slack、VPN 客户端、各种登录窗口）一键输入，就需要这个在沙盒外运行的小程序。

它没有窗口，不在 Dock 里出现，只在后台等 Cue 的指令。

安装

下载并打开 .dmg，把「Cue 输入助手」拖到「应用程序」文件夹。必须放在这里：Cue 只接受「应用程序」里的助手。
打开它一次。它没有窗口；系统会问是否允许它使用辅助功能。到「系统设置 > 隐私与安全性 > 辅助功能」里打开「Cue 输入助手」。
回到 Cue 的「设置 > 面板」，「输入助手」一行显示「已连接」就好了。

之后它随登录启动，在后台待命；Cue 的「设置 > 面板」里可以关掉「登录时启动输入助手」或让它退出。

使用

把光标放在要填的输入框里，按 ⌃⌥C（或你设的快捷键）打开面板，选条目，回车。面板底部会写着「输入到某 App」；⌥回车改为复制。前台是浏览器时，面板也会按当前网站把条目排在前面。

它能看到什么

只有两样：Cue 发来的那几位数字，以及面板打开那一刻前台 App 的名称、窗口标题、浏览器页面的地址和是否有输入框处于焦点。它看不到你的数据库和密钥，不联网，不记录任何东西，也只接受来自 Cue 的连接（双方都会校验对方的签名）。详见隐私政策。

卸载

在 Cue 的「设置 > 面板」里关掉「登录时启动输入助手」，点「退出输入助手」，再把它从「应用程序」拖到废纸篓。「系统设置 > 通用 > 登录项与扩展」里的条目会一起消失。

Cue Input Helper

A small helper for the Mac App Store version of Cue: with it installed, Return in Cue's panel types the code straight into the field of the Mac app you are in.

A disk image, notarized by Apple; drag the app to Applications.

Why it exists

The store version of Cue runs in the App Sandbox. The system does not let a sandboxed app read other apps' windows or press keys for you, so the store version cannot type on its own. Web pages don't need it: Cue's browser extension fills codes there. To type with one key into Mac apps (Terminal, Slack, VPN clients, login windows), this small program runs outside the sandbox.

It has no window and no Dock icon; it waits in the background for Cue.

Install

Download and open the .dmg, then drag "Cue Input Helper" to your Applications folder. It has to live there: Cue accepts the helper from Applications only.
Open it once. There is no window; the system asks whether it may use Accessibility. Turn on "Cue Input Helper" under System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility.
Back in Cue, Settings > Panel shows the helper as connected.

From then on it starts at login and waits in the background. Cue's Settings > Panel can turn off "start at login" or quit it.

Use

Put the cursor in the field, press ⌃⌥C (or your shortcut) for the panel, pick the entry, press Return. The panel's footer says which app the code goes to; ⌥Return copies instead. Over a browser, the panel also puts the current site's entries first.

What it sees

Two things only: the digits Cue sends it, and, at the moment the panel opens, the front app's name, its window title, the address of the page in a browser, and whether a text field has focus. It never sees your vault or secrets, has no network access, keeps no records, and accepts connections from Cue only (each side checks the other's signature). See the privacy policy.

Uninstall

In Cue's Settings > Panel, turn off "start at login", click "quit the helper", then drag it from Applications to the Trash. Its entry under System Settings > General > Login Items & Extensions goes with it.
