There has been a long standing problem of flameshot losing focus to other programs.
The relevant issues:
This PR provides a workaround to the problem. If flameshot loses focus, a text message will be displayed in the bottom right corner of the capture GUI that says
Flameshot has lost focus. Keyboard shortcuts won't work until you click somewhere.
As the message says, clicking anywhere in the GUI will restore focus. I don't know if this works on all platforms. I have tested it on Arch Linux with i3wm.
Note: The actual term is not focus. Instead we are talking about whether the window is active or not. But the user need not be burdened by such technicalities.
