Set focus to translation field on open from reading screen

[jzohrab]

On open from reading screen, the term is created, most natural thing would be to edit the translation. ref discord

Hey @jzohrab I would like to work on this. Please assign this to me.

Would adding a autofocus attribute to the {form.translation} field in the term/_form.html be a good start? It seems to work when I click on any of the terms on the read page.

Hi @Jayanth-Parthsarathy - thanks very much! (Sorry have been travelling and busy) Autofocus should only be set if the language and term are already set:

• If the form is opened to create a new term and the language isn't set, focus should go there
• if form is opened to create new and lang is set (b/c the user set the "current language" from home screen), focus goes to the term
• if lang and term are set, it should go to the translation.

Makes sense?

[Jayanth-Parthsarathy]

Understood, thanks for the clarification :)

@Jayanth-Parthsarathy did this work in #390 but I disabled it -- it has the unfortunate side-effect of pulling focus from the reading pane, which is a hassle when I'm quickly moving from term to term using the cursor keys. Perhaps there's a way to set the focus in the translation field when the form first gets the focus, so that the reading pane keeps the focus.
