@Jeff_Hager I am trying to remember that you said that there is a workaround for it or I misread but I couldn’t find the thread unfortuently ---

@Lucas_Pires had taught me that you can right click on a component. It will open a sub-menu, which you can click out of, but it will also open the settings in the right hand panel. I actually use that method quite a bit to get to the component settings. I’ve never really gotten used to using those icons at the bottom of the screen. ---

That hack doesn’t work in Pages, which is a shame. I’m sure at some point you could click a component in the left hand panel in Pages, and the associated component in the layout would be highlighted. That was really nice, but it seems to be gone. Anyway, I loathe that play/select thing. It hijacks my Cmd key and makes me swear. A lot. I really wish we had an option to disable it. ---

Oh farts! You can tell I haven’t spent a whole lot of time with Pages yet. I’ve recently started by converting one of my side projects to pages, but I’m still pretty new to it. ---

Agreed! I’ve been asking for “select” mode since pages first came out. The keyboard shortcut saves me quite a bit of time when building.
