Peek closes when focus is lost (0.71). Perhaps this issue has mistakenly been left open?

The reason for commenting however is to suggest for this to be a configurable option instead. This would be particularly useful where one may want to preview a file on one screen and do something on the other. Granted, the file could just be opened in its default application, but I think being able to stick to Peek as a quick way to view files is ideal.

If, for example, your images or videos are configured to open in a heavier application by default, say Adobe Photoshop or Premiere Pro, then the default application may not be ideal for the task. The choice for the preview window simply not to close on losing focus opens up a few other workflows.

P.S. Excuse the below mention, it was a mistake.
