I am trying to multi select various elements with annotation mode and it doesnt seem to be working by holding shift. I swear i did this before and when i read up on it, i see docs saying i should be able to select multi things with annotation mode while holding shift and selecting. but this does not work. it will only allow me to select one item. And I am not meaning selecting by dragging either. I need to select elements in various parts of a page that a drag selection would not work with.
Anyone else with this issue, or have any solves?
Thank you in advance.
Welcome to the forum!
You are welcome to discuss Codex issues on the forum, however the official place to report and track them is the GitHub issue tracker for OpenAI Codex.
I tried to use ChatGPT to search for a similar issue but was denied the request do to too many recent queries, just my luck.
Try searching the existing GitHub issues.
If you find issues matching your problem, consider adding a 
reaction on the GitHub issue page itself, not just on the forum topic, as reactions on GitHub help the developers gauge impact and prioritize work.
If you cannot find one, then open a new issue with as much detail as possible.
sorry i am a bit confused. what is the community forum to be used for then? I thought it was to discuss and ask questions? But youre saying I need to do this on GitHub? Just asking to make sure I use the forum correctly as I am new here. When I look at the Codex category I see others asking questions too. but is this not where questions are to be asked? Or like what is allowed to be discussed or shoudl be discussed here?
Good question.
The official stated purpose of this forum is:
Connect with other developers building with the OpenAI API Platform.
The practical answer is a bit messier.
You have to go back four to five years, before ChatGPT, when most OpenAI model access was through the API. I was not on the forum back then, so take this as my understanding rather than an official explanation.
Later, ChatGPT came along. My understanding is that ChatGPT and the API platform were, and may still be, handled by somewhat separate groups. ChatGPT has an OpenAI Discord community. This site for API, however, is a Discourse forum, not Discord.
Also, I am not an OpenAI employee and never have been, so take all of this with a grain of salt.
Then Codex came along and blurred the lines even more. I am not sure, but the Codex group may also have ties to an acquired outside company, which may help explain why the Codex project is tracked on GitHub.
After being on this forum for years, I have learned not to try too hard to fit all of this into one clean template. In practice, I usually just go with what works.
Yes, that works here.
Not as a requirement.
You can discuss Codex issues here, and people do. The reason I suggest GitHub is that the OpenAI Codex developers are much more likely to see issues there. OpenAI Codex developers rarely post here.
You are doing great.
By chance, did you have to interact with the Discourse Discobot?
That bot can be annoying, but it is part of the standard Discourse onboarding experience.

just go with what works
Ahhh ok. haha yeah this sounds very confusing. I thought it was like the Vercel community where its like everything in one place. So that is how i approached it here.
And I wasnt trying to reach an OpenAI dev either tbh. And my issue may not even be a bug. I was really just asking if I am missing something. Like is the shift to multi select working for others? or is it me haha. So really that was my main question. i will also try askign on the Discord channel as well.
Regarding Discobot…no idea what this is and did not come across it when i signed in.
but anyways, if you or anyone else who reads this have an answer or idea to my original question, i greatly aprpeciate it. just trying to figure out if its me or if i am experiencing a bug of sorts.
thanks
You had to open that can of worms. 
One thing I try to do is review the Codex commits eveyday and I have seen bugs get reported, get fixed, then resurface again.
Thanks.
just an update. So it seems that maybe Shift plus clicking did work one on annotation level ( i still dont know if its correct or if i am hallucinating from jumping between codex and cursor so much ahah). but the solution for doing what I wanted to do in Codex does exist but doing Cmd+enter (on mac). So, solved more or less.
