DevKit.Focus.Sharp

Framework-neutral keyboard-focus policy for .NET desktop applications.

The package models a focus scope rather than a framework control. The application chooses the active scope; KeyboardFocusCoordinator only verifies or restores keyboard focus inside it.

Pair it with:

DevKit.Focus.Avalonia.Sharp
DevKit.Focus.WinUi3.Sharp

Core usage

var coordinator = new KeyboardFocusCoordinator(result =>
    logger.LogDebug("Focus {Scope}: {Outcome}", result.ScopeId, result.Outcome));

coordinator.Apply(
    currentSurface.FocusScope,
    new KeyboardFocusRequest(
        KeyboardFocusReason.SurfaceEntered,
        KeyboardFocusMode.Ensure,
        "Panels -> Terminal"));

The coordinator does not own application mode, inspect a visual tree, use a dispatcher, or depend on a UI framework.

Composite scopes

var panels = new CompositeKeyboardFocusScope(
    "panels",
    defaultScope: () => activePanel.FocusScope,
    members: () => new[]
    {
        leftPanel.FocusScope,
        rightPanel.FocusScope,
        commandLine.FocusScope,
    });

Focus in any member is valid. Forced navigation still sends focus to the current default scope.

Ownership

Component — the component may focus itself during initialization.
Host — the host is the only owner of initial/surface focus.

This library targets netstandard2.0 and net8.0. It has no UI or DI package dependencies.
