I use custom keyboard layout which map arrows to i j k l, home, end, page up and down to h ; u m, Remapped (non character) XKB keys dont do anything in lite-xl.
It might have similiar problem with neo keyboard layout, which historically had similiar issues with vscode.

the custom keyboard respect XKB specs, so it works in any text area in browsers, or any native apps which considers XKB specs.

I dont really know if lite-xl considering XKB specs in its development, but remapped (non character) XKB keys dont do anything in lite-xl.

Maybe someone can explain how keys are processed ?

What DE are you using?
Could you also test in Wayland? Both using Lite XL under Xwayland, and with the environment variable SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland set.
