Stop Sidewise from interfering with shortcuts by using search ONLY when clicking the search bar

I love Sidewise, but the probably most annoying issue I'm running into literally every day is when I try to use shortcuts like cmd+w or cmd+t and Sidewise starts a search for "w" or "t" instead of letting Chrome execute the "close tab" or "open new tab" command.

I find that to be very annoying and think it's not too much to ask from users to first click on the search bar if I want to make a search. Please at least give us the option to chose this behavior, so I don't keep starting searches by accident.

Thank you! :)
