Troubleshooting
Most issues come from shortcut conflicts, restricted browser pages, clipboard permissions, or production React builds that expose less debug metadata.
Alt+S does not start selection
Another extension or browser shortcut may be using the same command. Open Chrome extension shortcuts and reassign the Anthra Selector command.
React owner or component is missing
Some production builds expose less React fiber metadata. The copied context will still include DOM, text, role, and accessibility details.
Source location is missing
File and line data depend on React debug source metadata such as _debugSource. Many production builds strip it.
The overlay does not appear
Refresh the inspected page, reopen DevTools, and verify that the page is not a restricted Chrome or internal browser page.
Clipboard copy fails
Clipboard writes require an explicit user action. Start selection from the panel or shortcut, click an element, then retry copy.
Fast reset checklist
- Refresh the inspected React page.
- Close and reopen Chrome DevTools.
- Open the
AI Selectorpanel. - Press
Alt+Sor click select from the panel. - Click the target element again.
