setting focus on a widget

[Randy Heiland]

Is there a way to programmatically give a widget focus? I have a multi-tabbed UI and would like to have the slider on an 'interactive' widget have focus when I select the tab in which it lives (so the user can immediately press keys to step the slider).

thanks, Randy

No, there's not a way to change the frontend focus from python.

Clarifying to make sure we're talking about the same thing: No, there's not a way to change the frontend focus from python in the core ipywidgets system.

Thanks for the prompt reply! If you're suggesting there are other ways, I'd be curious. Basically, I'm just looking for any way to make it easier on the user (including me). Being able to tab-select over multiple widgets on a panel sort of helps, but not so much for my layout. And I find it slightly annoying to have to move my mouse carefully onto the small-ish slider circle to select it. I know, we're incredibly spoiled :)
