+
+### Added
+
+**Keys in `on`.** `event:` takes `keydown.<key>`, so a form's Escape or a
+list's arrow keys reach the channel with no JavaScript in the app.
+
+```erb
+<%= tag.div(**on(:cancel, event: "keydown.esc")) do %> ... <% end %>
+<%= link_to "New", new_song_path,
+      **on(:new_form, event: ["click", "keydown.n@window"]) %>
+```
+
+- A key is heard while focus is inside its element. With `@window` it is
+  heard anywhere on the page, for as long as the element is rendered.
+- Keys: `enter`, `tab`, `esc`, `space`, `up`, `down`, `left`, `right`,
+  `home`, `end`, `page_up`, `page_down`, a letter, or a digit. Modifiers go
+  in front: `keydown.ctrl+s`, `keydown.meta+shift+k`. They are `ctrl`, `meta`
+  and `shift`, and they match exactly.
+- A matched key's default is prevented. Keys pressed during IME composition
+  and a held key's repeats are ignored.
+- A window key with neither `ctrl` nor `meta` is ignored while the visitor is
+  typing in a field, except `esc`.
+- A bare `keydown` raises; `input` is the event for typed text.
+
+**`focus`: the cursor in a field a render opens.** A row that turns into a
+form used to leave focus on the page, so the visitor had to click into the
+field before typing or pressing Escape.
+
+```erb
+<%= text_field_tag "title", form.title, **focus(select: true) %>
+```
+
+- The client focuses the marked element once, on the render that brings it.
+  `select: true` also selects its text.
+- Only a render this tab's own action caused counts. Another visitor's save
+  never moves the cursor, and neither does a page refresh.
+- A marked element in the page's first HTML is not focused; use `autofocus`
+  there.
+- Focus is not taken from a field whose typed text has yet to be sent.
+- `focus` returns a `{ data: }` hash like `on` and `props`:
+  `**on(:set_field, event: :input).deep_merge(focus)`.
+
+**Focus comes back when a render removes the focused element.** After Save,
+Cancel or Escape the form is gone, and focus used to fall to `<body>`: a
+keyboard user lost their place, and the island stopped hearing keys. The
+client now gives focus back to a control. Nothing more to write in the view.
+
+- A form opened with `focus` returns to the control that opened it: the
+  row's Edit link, the New button. The client remembers which control's
+  action brought the marked field, and finds it again after a re-render by
+  its id, or by its action and `with:` payload.
+- A replaced element with the same id takes the focus, and the caret, its
+  predecessor had.
+- Failing both, focus goes to the first control inside the nearest ancestor
+  that has an id.
+- Only a control ever takes focus. When none of these is found, as after a
+  row is destroyed, focus is left where the browser put it.
+- It applies to any render, on both transports and after a page refresh, and
+  never moves focus the visitor has since put somewhere else.
+
+### Fixed
+
+**Typed text is no longer lost to a render that lands inside the input
+debounce.** A debounced field holds text the server has not heard for a
+quarter second. Any render reaching the field in that wait was drawn without
+it, and the morph wrote the older value over what the visitor had typed. The
+render need not be theirs: another visitor's save of any row was enough.
+
+- A field with unsent input now wins over a render. The client records the
+  text and the caret as it is typed and puts them back after the render,
+  until the debounced send has fired. After that the server's value wins
+  again, so Reset and a failed save still overwrite the field.
+- Any action that is not debounced first sends the island's pending
+  debounced input, so gestures reach the server in the order they were made:
+  typing into a field and pressing Enter inside the wait no longer saves the
+  form without the last characters.
+- This covers fields wired with a debounce (`event: :input`). Checkboxes,
+  radios, file inputs and multi-selects are not recorded.
