  • Managing application focus transitions
    Patent number: 11822785
    Abstract: Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for managing focus for an application having a plurality of application user interface components. Initially, a first user interface component receives a first keystroke. Responsive to receiving the first keystroke, the application transitions from a default or pointing device navigation mode to a managed or keyboard navigation mode. The first user interface component receives a second keystroke, and responsive thereto invokes an application focus manager to set a destination user interface component identifier. Next, a second user interface component associated with the destination user interface component identifier compares the destination user interface component identifier to its own component identifier. Finally, the second user interface component claims keyboard input focus in the application.
