Add multiple Control-Node focusing.

[boruok]

Describe the project you are working on

Android platformer with touchscreen buttons.

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

TextureButton doesn't support multiple touch. So you can't do multiple actions with it, example: run to side while jumping.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

I've worked on touchscreen buttons with Control node and found issues:

1. Only one Control-Node can grab click focus.
2. TouchScreenButton-Node is more placeholder for Control-Button with multitouch support because it inherits from Node2D (there is no anchors and margins adapting its position and size relative to its parent)

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

i recommend this issue 2017 -> godotengine/godot#10755

Only one Control-Node can grab click focus.

This is expected, as Controls are meant to be used for menu navigation only, not gameplay.

TouchScreenButton-Node is more placeholder for Control-Button with multitouch support because it inherits from Node2D (there is no anchors and margins adapting its position and size relative to its parent)

You can add TouchScreenButtons as children of Control nodes to benefit from tne anchor & margin workflow. See also godotengine/godot#15039.

oh, that make sense. I'm closing this proposal.

I am working on a game with Local Co-op, multiple Control nodes being able to be focused at once would be very helpful for this use case. I.e., each connected player in the player selection screen being able to navigate their own character customization UI and ready up / leave buttons
