Disable focus instead of locking it inside

[benjaminrobinet]

Hello ! I have an "offscreen" menu where I want to disable focus for it while it's "closed" (not display none). And lock the focus in it when it's opened. So is there a way to de the reverse of the main goal of focus lock ? I mean allow normal focusing loop but excluding a tree ?

Thanks !

So actually "this", lets call it focus-holes, can be implemented, but there is still an open question about hiding stuff for screen readers as long as they should not see hidden content as well.

And here is the expected solution - mark "hidden"(not display none) content as aria-hidden and ensure focus-lock "jumps over it" as expected.

Let me write a test for it and see how it works. Probably it's not (yet)
