I just realised the component selector in Pages is live. Wow! This makes things so much easier especially for those screens with a lot of components… You don’t even have to switch views but uses the hover effect to highlight the components… Thank you Glide team :clap::clap: https://community.gli…

I’m sure I saw something similar to this in staging a while back. Nice to see its made its way into production :+1: And it’s much better than the way it behaves in Apps, with that annoying hotkey switching that hijacks your keyboard :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: I really wish there was a way to di…

I agree, this is so much better… When working with Apps, I would sometimes forget that my Apps were in select mode and start to panic when I press a button on the App in the builder and nothing happens. I would of course realise this a few minutes later that I was on selector mode… This is so much…

I work almost exclusively in Play mode, and it gets me every time I take a screenshot. The key combination on a Mac to select an area and screenshot it is Cmd-Shift-4. So every time I go to take a screenshot, I hit my Cmd key, the builder immediately switches to Select mode, and I get a blue box aro…

Your message is really funny :joy: But I agree with you the hotkey on Mac is anything but funny.

I like to use humour to get my point across. But alas, my grumpy old mans sense of humour quite often goes straight over the top… [image]

I’m not seeing it in production…screenshot? I guess I’m alone in saying that I love the MacBook keyboard shortcut. I find myself command-clicking on components in Pages only to frustratingly scroll through my list of components in the left hand panel.

yep, I’m still seeing it. I really like this method much better …

But if I have a screen with 40 components on it, scrolling through that list isn’t helpful. I want to just select the component I see in front of me.

oh, right - so you want it to work the other way around. I get what you mean, I guess I don’t see it as a problem as I rarely have that many components on a single screen.

I get that command click isn’t the best hot key, but I’d prefer ANY hot key to bring this back…that or right clicking a component to select it which apparently you can’t do in pages either.

Yeah, I’d be perfectly happy with the same behaviour as we have in Apps, if only it was a different shortcut key. In fact, I requested this almost 2 years ago…
