Seems like if component inside container, so i can’t select the container, just component inside.  
And if component inside Custom collection, so i can’t select element inside custom collection.  
Nevertheless, it’s a great feature!

I’m so happy 🥹

Is there a keyboard shortcut?

I’m 95% satisfied with this feature. The keyboard shortcut to \_\_\_ - click a component would be gravy.

There is some weird hybrid action when testing in full page mode. The ‘select’ is still ‘active’ (highlighting the component you are hovering over) but when you click into/onto the component the “hand” is shown and operates like select is off (which it should).

Not sure if that is the intent (‘select’ mode doesn’t make sense when in full page mode) but it works.
