Description
It would be great if Editor.focus method supported optional params (preventScroll, focusVisible - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/focus#parameters) and used these params when focusing in editor textarea
The reason:
We are using Editor inside nodes within some canvas and have the feature of auto focusing Editor within newly added node.
As by default preventScroll is false this causes unintentional browser scrolling the document to bring the newly-focused element into view and this is the reason for some UI issues. If Editor.focus supports preventScroll parameter we can easily control browser behavior on focus

Research direction
Start at the Editor.focus entry point and trace where it focuses the editor textarea. Check the existing browser focus call against the requested HTMLElement.focus parameters; done means preventScroll and focusVisible can be passed optionally and used when the editor receives focus.
