[Web Previews] Edit mode not working on focus lost #132

Open

Description

@bebejane

When using the web previews plugin, the Edit mode toggle with Alt doesn't work if you have clicked on the right hand panel and then return to the left panel. It only works if you first clicked and focused the document on the left hand panel.

    Hey @bebejane

    Yes, I can see how this can lead to a pretty frustrating editing experience.

    Right now this is a plugin SDK limitation, the iframe can only capture key events when it is on focus.
    I'll leave this open in case it is something we upgrade in the future and it becomes possible.

    Thank you for the feedback!
