Explanation

This issue was about improving the user experience when navigating within inline math elements that have popovers.

The Problem:
When editing inline math content and a popover was displayed, pressing the left or right arrow keys would not behave as expected. The popover would remain open, potentially interfering with navigation.

Expected Behavior (like Notion):

• When pressing the left arrow key (←) inside inline math with an open popover:
  • The popover should close
  • The cursor should move one position to the left within the math content
• When pressing the right arrow key (→) inside inline math with an open popover:
  • The popover should close
  • The cursor should move one position to the right within the math content

Status:
This issue has been resolved and was fixed in PR #4305.

The fix ensures that arrow key navigation within inline math elements behaves intuitively, automatically dismissing any open popovers to provide a cleaner editing experience similar to Notion's implementation.
