AI Models
I find Shift+Tab pretty useful to jump around between agent modes: Agent, Ask, Plan…
But the flow is broken since I also used to jump between models depending on the task, or the agent mode. It would be an improvement if we could define shortcuts for specific models so we could jump easily to Opus, then GPT, or go back to AUTO mode.

It was driving me nuts so I’ve hacked a solution using Hammerspoon.

-- hs.application.watcher fires callbacks when apps are activated, deactivated, launched, or terminated. We use `activated` to know when Cursor gains focus. Storing the watcher in M (the module table) prevents it from being garbage-collected, which would silently stop the watcher.

if eventType == hs.application.watcher.activated then
if appName == "Cursor" then
