Screenshot Helper broken? - No longer moves the camera [Solved]

UPDATE 2: Solved:

TL;DR:
This is an interaction with EHT. Turn OFF the EHT setting: “Show Essential Effects™ when UI is off”


UPDATE 1:

I found the culprit: EHT - Reinstalling it fresh fixed it.

As to why: No real idea. I assume it's somehow related to the fact that EHT controls EHT-exclusive visual effects for housing and prompts you about whether you want to keep those effects On while UI is Off... that's all I can guess at; it's the only thing remotely related to Screenshot Helper, which hides native UI elements in the Off state. There is a keybind to toggle EHT effects on/off which I recently started using (to hide the floating guest journal that stalks you). That keybind (and all others assigned to EHT) is completely unrelated to the ones used for hiding UI and camera, but since it's the only new-ish variable (otherwise I've used these addons together for years), I assume some combo of actions related to this borked something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Leaving this in case someone else has the same problem.


OP:
–––––

https://www.esoui.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=701#info - Screenshot Helper
https://esoui.com/downloads/info1669-CameraControl.html - Camera Control

For years I've used both Screenshot Helper (SH) and Camera Control (CC):
• SH to move the camera and control FOV when UI is off
• CC has a keybind to re-center the camera, SH doesn't,
• CC does not have FOV-changing, so I need both.

Just the other day SH keybinds stopped working: can't move the camera.

Oddly, if I assign CC to use the arrow keys to move cam instead, those do work. And SH still works on the PTS.

The only new things I installed recently were Character Knowledge and Loot Log, but these should not interfere? I also tried turning them off to see if SH would work again - No. No other addons use these arrow key binds. So, Idk what could be causing it, if ZOS did something to Live this week that's different from PTS, or ??

I rely on these a ton for both screenshots and building in housing 😣 Such a pain to suddenly lose it. It'd be nice if they could be combined into one addon that has keybinds for all of the above.
