Step 3. Describe the issue

On opening the overview (pressing Super), the keyboard no longer focuses on the text field in the Overview section, rather in the workspace itself. I have attached a recording of the same here.
Please let me know if logs are needed (as I don't know how to get them :/)

Reminder

• I agree that it's usually impossible for others to help me without my logs.

Can confirm that the above fix works. Thank you :)

@Voldemort271
Keep the issue open until END_4 sees this and merges the fixes into the main repository. because this fix is not official

It significantly slows down the opening speed of the shortcut overview on my machine.

The implementation of hasActive has caused a significant slowdown in speed.

I have changed the implementation of HyprlandFocusGrab, which seems to work on most interfaces, but I think this is probably a temporary solution

UPD: Yep, it clearly cannot handle nested content. maybe we need a better solution

HyprlandFocusGrab {
        id: grab
        windows: root.dismissable.some(w => w.contentItem && w.contentItem.activeFocus) ? [...root.dismissable, ...root.persistent] : [...root.dismissable]
        active: root.dismissable.length > 0
        onCleared: () => {
            root.dismiss();
        }
    }

Yep, I've noticed the shortcut overview slowing down but couldn't pinpoint the reason to this script.

Yes, hasActive performs a brute-force traversal of the element tree, causing severe efficiency issues.
