This pull request fixes an issue where using Ctrl + Left/Right (or Cmd + Left/Right on macOS) to move the cursor a word at a time in the Alt Text field would navigate to the previous/next asset instead.

This was happening because the asset editor's keydown handler is bound to window and never checked where focus was, so the shortcut fired even while typing in a field.

This PR fixes it by ignoring the shortcut when the event target is an input, textarea, select or contenteditable element.

Fixes #15104
