How can a control recieve keyboard events?

[jyswjjgdwtdtj]

Does a control recieve key events only when it is focused? I found i can't focus a control(no :focus-within class) by mouse click. The only way i can focus is to use a TextBox. Then i found i can't make it lose focus

Controls without input focus often require setting Focusable="True" on them to make them eligible for focus. You can diagnose this using DevTools.

Removing focus is harder. You're supposed to focus an alternate element instead which feels pretty awkward to me. You can still get the FocusManager from a TopLevel and call ClearFocus for now...but not sure if that's going away:

Avalonia/src/Avalonia.Base/Input/IFocusManager.cs

Lines 19 to 20 in f56babb

	[Unstable("This API might be removed in 11.x minor updates. Please consider focusing another element instead of removing focus at all for better UX.")]
	void ClearFocus();
