That's when you end up back > with "keyboard focus" and "mouse focus" Was thinking further that maybe it needs to clarify it in the sense of "each input mechanism available to a user may have its own distinct "focus". And then started thinking that perhaps "focus" is really only a concept for "indirect manipulation" type inputs (where a keyboard/keyboard-like interface moves the focus around, whereas there is no such thing for touch or even mouse itself, unless for the latter we cound the mouse pointer?) Anyway, sorry for this curveball... P -- Patrick H.
