Have a question, what is the best way to detect if a `text_input` is focused?

Not exactly what you asked, but I recently answered a very similar question on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79345013/how-to-focus-te...
Yes, not what I want :-).

I can focus just fine. I want to detect if a text_input is focused, when I am checking key-presses.

But going through every discussion and all, there was a PR that might have allowed to do this, and it's been merged, but it's not working the way I want.

My use case is, If the text_input is not focused, I can press characters to perform some operations. If text_input is selected, it should be ignored.

For now I am back using modifiers, will get back to this later.
