How do you unfocus a webview when using wry with winit?

[jf908]

My use case for wry is using it to implement a toggleable web interface over an existing winit application. The winit application listens for WindowEvent::KeyboardInput but this event is only fired when the webview is not focused. The problem is, there is no method to unfocus the webview once it is focused so while I can show/hide the web interface using webview.set_visible, I cannot stop the webview from capturing all keyboard events once it has been focused.

I have created a test repo which showcases the problem.

By creating a webview with .with_visible(false).with_focused(false) winit keyboard events work fine. Once .focus() is called on the webview, the winit events are never executed again. I poked around the WebView2 docs and from my understanding, there is simply no blur method so if anyone has any ideas they would be welcome.

Note

I have only tested this on Windows 11, I do not know if this works on macOS/Linux but I am interested in finding a solution that works on all platforms.
