Description

Originally by @wolfie


I'd like to have the ability to remove focus off some elements.

In my case, I have a TextField in immediate mode. Once the user has entered something and presses enter, I clear the TextField and then would like to have the TextField lose its focus also.

Research direction

Start by locating the Focusable API and its existing focus() behavior, then trace how TextField handles Enter in immediate mode. Done means a TextField can lose focus after its value is entered and cleared, with the existing focus behavior preserved.
