🐞Shortcuts not working when the player is not on focus.

[Gilz142]

Bug Report:

• Description: When the video player is not on focus, the shortcuts are not working. e.g. when i press up and down key, it scrolls the whole page. I have to click on the player and then it starts working.
• Steps to reproduce this: Set the shortcut for volume to up and down arrow keys.
• Since when?: I just installed the extension so I'm not sure.
• Browser: Floorp (firefox based)
• Are any errors shown in the Browser-Console?: No

please check, if the issue has already been reported ever. (If so, that might inspires you to add different/better words to that report.): I tried searching with "is:issue shortcut" and "is:issue state:open shortcut", but i don't think anyone has had this problem or it's a very old problem that has been fixed but I'm not aware of yet of the solution.

OPTIONAL (usually): -->

• Expected preferred behavior: Regardless of whether the video player is in focus or not, the shortcuts should work.
