Move focus to the search inputbox on load

[Ruler11]

Hello, what would be the easiest way of moving text focus to a predefined inputbox on loading tiddlywiki?

There's no focus handling in TW5 at the moment. There's a few places where it is important: for instance, we'd like to be able to press enter to confirm a new tag and move the focus to the input box for typing another tag. We'll need a mechanism that can cope with that kind of logic.

The case of autofocussing an inputbox on page load might be relatively simple: there is an HTML autofocus attribute that automatically focusses an element. The <$edit-text> widget doesn't support it at the moment, but could be extended to do so.

Can you describe your use case a bit more?

Best wishes

Jeremy

I think you explained it all. Thanks. Will be waiting for the implementation.
