firenvim randomly not working on certain sites

[cohml]

• OS Version: macOS Sonoma 12.7.1
• Browser Version: Chrome 128.0.6613.114 (I usually use Brave 1.73.101, but TROUBLESHOOTING.md doesn't cover that)
• Browser Addon Version: 0.2.16
• Neovim Plugin Version: commit f8a5fa6

What I tried to do + what happened

firenvim takes over the textbox as expected on the vast majority of sites. But to date, I've noticed that it fails to do so on chatgpt.com and reddit.com.

I have gone through the steps enumerated in TROUBLESHOOTING.md. But each step produced the expected result, suggesting TROUBLESHOOTING.md does not cover the root cause of my problem.

I hate to ask for customized assistance, but at this point the issue is beyond my knowledge/abilities to debug. Any ideas appreciated.

Love this plugin by the way, total game-changer :)

Hi, sorry for the delay answering your issue.

When firenvim fails to take over a textarea, this is often because websites use fancy JS editors instead of reasonable HTML ones. The consequence of that is often that Firenvim cannot work at all, or that you need to manually tell Firenvim what HTML element it should take over. In order to do this you can check the section titled Configuring what elements Firenvim should appear on in the readme.

I think reddit used to have a way to let you choose a regular plaintext editor, but perhaps they changed that.
