Hi there, and thank you for your feedback!

PhotoShow only intercepts its shortcut keys when doing so won’t interfere with the page’s native interactions. This means that if a focused interactive element with its own key actions (such as a text input) is active (focused), PhotoShow will NOT intercept those keystrokes — even if the image viewer is currently visible. (Just a note: hovering the mouse over an image usually doesn’t change the page’s focus.) Native page interactions always take priority.

If this doesn’t fully clarify the issue, feel free to report it via GitHub or email. Cheers!
