**`lvt-mod:skip-when-typing`** lets a global keyboard shortcut coexist with text entry. When the attribute is present, the binding does **not** fire if `document.activeElement` is (or is inside) an editable element — a text-like `<input>`, `<textarea>`, `<select>`, or `[contenteditable]`. Button/checkbox/radio inputs are not treated as editable, so shortcuts still fire when one is focused. Bindings **without** the attribute (e.g. `Escape`-to-cancel) keep firing while typing, so a cancel key still works inside a focused composer. Only applies to `keydown`/`keyup` bindings.
