Peek feature - bug report

[jakche]

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.70.0

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Running as admin

Yes

Area(s) with issue?

Peek

Steps to reproduce

When using various web browsers such as Firefox, Brave, Edge, or Chrome, I have set up a specific key combination (CTRL + SPACE) to open my password manager. However, when the "Peek" feature is enabled, these shortcuts no longer work within the browser.

I'm unsure whether this behavior is intended as a feature or if it is a bug. It might be worth considering the inclusion of options to whitelist certain actions from the "Peek" feature while browsing the web.

✔️ Expected Behavior

I expect my browser shortcuts to "override" the PowerToys one. I am not 100% sure with my expected behavior.

❌ Actual Behavior

Explained above in steps to reproduce.

Possibly a duplicate of #26150, Peek Activation key interferes with other applications instead of specific to File Explorer?
