- The ffffooooccccuuuussss command is used to manage the Tk input focus. At |
- any given time, one window in an application is designated |
- as the focus window for that application; any key press or |
- key release events directed to any window in the application |
- will be redirected instead to the focus window. If there is |
- no focus window for an application then keyboard events are |
- discarded. Typically, windows that are prepared to deal |
- with the focus (e.g. entries and other widgets that display |
- editable text) will claim the focus when mouse button 1 is |
- pressed in them. When an application is created its main |
- window is initially given the focus. |
-
- The ffffooooccccuuuussss command can take any of the following forms: |
-
- ffffooooccccuuuussss ||
- If invoked with no arguments, ffffooooccccuuuussss returns the path |
- name of the current focus window, or nnnnoooonnnneeee if there is |
- no focus window. |
-
- ffffooooccccuuuussss _w_i_n_d_o_w ||
- If invoked with a single argument consisting of a |
- window's path name, ffffooooccccuuuussss sets the input focus to that |
- window. The return value is an empty string. |
-
- ffffooooccccuuuussss ddddeeeeffffaaaauuuulllltttt ?_w_i_n_d_o_w? ||
- If _w_i_n_d_o_w is specified, it becomes the default focus |
- window (the window that receives the focus whenever the |
- focus window is deleted) and the command returns an |
- empty string. If _w_i_n_d_o_w isn't specified, the command |
- returns the path name of the current default focus |
- window, or nnnnoooonnnneeee if there is no default. _W_i_n_d_o_w may be |
- specified as nnnnoooonnnneeee to clear its existing value. The |
- default window is initially nnnnoooonnnneeee. |
-
- ffffooooccccuuuussss nnnnoooonnnneeee ||
- Clears the focus window, so that keyboard input to this |
- application will be discarded. |

- Tk's model of the input focus is different than X's model, |
- and the focus window set with the ffffooooccccuuuussss command is not |
- usually the same as the X focus window. Tk never explicitly |
- changes the official X focus window. It waits for the |
- window manager to direct the X input focus to and from the |
- application's top-level windows, and it intercepts FFFFooooccccuuuussssIIIInnnn |
- and FFFFooooccccuuuussssOOOOuuuutttt events coming from the X server to detect these |
- changes. All of the focus events received from X are |
- discarded by Tk; they never reach the application. |
- Instead, Tk generates a different stream of FFFFooooccccuuuussssIIIInnnn and |
- FFFFooooccccuuuussssOOOOuuuutttt for the application. This means that FFFFooooccccuuuussssIIIInnnn and |
- and FFFFooooccccuuuussssOOOOuuuutttt events seen by the application will not obey |
- the conventions described in the documentation for Xlib. |
-
- Tk applications receive two kinds of FFFFooooccccuuuussssIIIInnnn and FFFFooooccccuuuussssOOOOuuuutttt |
- events, which can be distinguished by their _d_e_t_a_i_l fields. |
- Events with a _d_e_t_a_i_l of NNNNoooottttiiiiffffyyyyAAAAnnnncccceeeessssttttoooorrrr are directed to the |
- current focus window when it becomes active or inactive. A |
- window is the active focus whenever two conditions are |
- simultaneously true: (a) the window is the focus window for |
- its application, and (b) some top-level window in the |
- application has received the X focus. When this happens Tk |
- generates a FFFFooooccccuuuussssIIIInnnn event for the focus window with detail |
- NNNNoooottttiiiiffffyyyyAAAAnnnncccceeeessssttttoooorrrr. When a window loses the active focus |
- (either because the window manager removed the focus from |
- the application or because the focus window changed within |
- the application) then it receives a FFFFooooccccuuuussssOOOOuuuutttt event with |
- detail NNNNoooottttiiiiffffyyyyAAAAnnnncccceeeessssttttoooorrrr. |
-
- The events described above are directed to the application's |
- focus window regardless of which top-level window within the |
- application has received the focus. The second kind of |
- focus event is provided for applications that need to know |
- which particular top-level window has the X focus. Tk |
- generates FFFFooooccccuuuussssIIIInnnn and FFFFooooccccuuuussssOOOOuuuutttt events with detail |
- NNNNoooottttiiiiffffyyyyVVVViiiirrrrttttuuuuaaaallll for top-level windows whenever they receive or |
- lose the X focus. These events are generated regardless of |
- which window in the application has the Tk input focus. |
- They do not imply that keystrokes will be directed to the |
- window that receives the event; they simply indicate which |
- top-level window is active as far as the window manager is |
- concerned. If a top-level window is also the application's |
- focus window, then it will receive both NNNNoooottttiiiiffffyyyyVVVViiiirrrrttttuuuuaaaallll and |
- NNNNoooottttiiiiffffyyyyAAAAnnnncccceeeessssttttoooorrrr events when it receives or loses the X focus. |
-
- Tk does not generate the hierarchical chains of FFFFooooccccuuuussssIIIInnnn and |
- FFFFooooccccuuuussssOOOOuuuutttt events described in the Xlib documentation (e.g. a |
- window can get a FFFFooooccccuuuussssIIIInnnn or FFFFooooccccuuuussssOOOOuuuutttt event without all of |
- its ancestors getting events too). Furthermore, the _m_o_d_e |
- field in focus events is always NNNNoooottttiiiiffffyyyyNNNNoooorrrrmmmmaaaallll and the only |
- values ever present in the _d_e_t_a_i_l field are NNNNoooottttiiiiffffyyyyAAAAnnnncccceeeessssttttoooorrrr |
