Add method in Api module to move keyboard focus
Just started learning addon development, and am surprised there isn't a built-in way to do this, as this is a common task.
Is this not what object and screen nav allow one to do? Brian

@Brian1Gaff for addon development, e.g pressing a hotkey to move focus to another part of the application.
@josephsl since you maintained golden cursors for a long time, this is moving the mouse cursor but still it is focus related. Do you think this request is relevant? @Neurrone can you please elaborate more on what exactly you want to achieve?
As the issue title says, there isn't a way to move keyboard focus to a specific element that is able to gain focus. This is useful if there is no native shortcut to get to a specific part of an application. For example, pressing f6 to cycle between different parts of the application.
