Area(s) with issue?

Peek

Steps to reproduce

  1. Peek at something with selectable text (tested on .txt, .c, .rtf, .docx) in a folder with multiple files
  2. Select or click on some of the file's text (placing a caret in the file preview) - sometimes this is unnecessary
  3. Try pressing the arrow keys to move to another file

✔️ Expected Behavior

There should be some way to stop controlling the caret (click the title bar?) so you can go back to navigating between files.

❌ Actual Behavior

The arrow keys are now stuck controlling the caret/selection and can no longer navigate between files. Peek has to be closed to get that behavior back.

Other Software

Peek is set to "always run unelevated"
