The list-selection and 'no changes' accept\/back actions now check whether the search box itself is focused before acting on a keypress. The keyboard shortcuts for accepting a selection, declining confirmation, and sorting by token count are now always active, rather than only active based on a separate local focus-tracking flag.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis should make keyboard behavior in the `\/skills` dialog more reliable, so shortcuts like accepting a selection or sorting by token count work consistently and don't get confused by whether the search box happens to have focus.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Names: `\/skills`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
