Sometimes it’s great to have the answer to a negative: Can you flip through photos in a screensaver in macOS 10.14 Mojave when you have a photo album selected while it still plays? The answer is a simple “no.”
In previous version of macOS, you could flip through with arrows. That was removed in Mojave without any fanfare, which may explain why so many people ask about it.
Now, using arrow keys drops out of the screensaver.
