This report is related to an interaction with this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Kux-ZoomRunning. I'll be filing an issue in both places and linking back to one another, since I don't really know which mod is responsible for "fixing" the problem.

When using Factory Palette, there seems to be a weird interaction with Zooming Reinvented where, after you hit "Enter" begin navigating the results with your arrow keys in the search palette, the zoom level seems to get "reset" to some default value. This does not happen when Zooming Reinvented is turned off - see the recordings below:

• Zooming Reinvented turned off: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mlojejer568vhsqsmkxy9/Factory-Palette-Kuxynator-Zooming-BOTH-OFF-No-Forced-Zooming-Recording-2025-05-18-135134.mp4?rlkey=j420okfc3ryzbdigzej0pvbjr&st=phnohup4&dl=0

The behavior I want is what happens when Zooming Reinvented is turned off - resetting the zoom level is really not ideal (and kind of frustrating). I don't want to disable either mod, because they're both very useful.

Any chance this could be fixed?

I believe this is due to a conflict in key assignments between the two. The arrow keys are used in a global way by both mods, I personally also use that mod and have changed the bindings to Alt + ↑ and Alt + ↓ for zoom; (I also happen to use Control + N and Control + P for Factory Palette, which works well for me since I'm on Mac and that doesn't conflict with anything for me, but that's another tangent). I'd recommend going through the keyboard conflicts and re-binding in this case since I don't currently know of a good way to take over the keyboard when our UI is up.

That makes a ton of sense, should've known it was probably something keybinding related. Thanks for the pointer!
