    Hei
    When I activate the plugin and I want to write something in a page in the Gutenberg editor, the N key does not work anyomre.
    If I deactivate the plugin, the key works again.

    Hi @dansart,

    Thank you so much for reporting this! You just solved a massive mystery for me.

    I was actually wondering why the “N” key on my own keyboard suddenly seemed to stop working, and I couldn’t figure out what was causing it. Your report made the lightbulb go off immediately.

    To allow users to quickly create a new folder, I registered a keyboard shortcut using the “N” key. However, because of a scoping oversight in my script, that shortcut is capturing the “N” key globally across the entire WordPress admin panel, including right inside the Gutenberg page editor blocks!

    As a solo developer, catching these kinds of contextual conflicts is incredibly helpful. I am jumping into the code right now to restrict the keyboard shortcut so it only listens when you are actively inside the PixelVault media interface, freeing up your keyboard everywhere else.

    I will push this fix out in the very next update. Thank you again for your sharp eye and for helping me fix this!

    Best regards,
    Rayhan

    Hi @dansart, thank you so much for reporting this, and for the precise detective work (activate = broken, deactivate = fixed). That’s exactly what pinned it down. 🙏

    You were spot on: our “New Folder” keyboard shortcut (“N”) was firing on the editor screen and swallowing the letter. It’s now limited to the Media Library screen only, so typing in Gutenberg, Elementor, and Divi is completely unaffected. The fix is live in v1.1.4 – please update.

    And I’m happy you saved my new keyboard cost! 😄 Thanks again!

    Rayhan
