Hi! I'm having an issue while trying to use focus with View/Compose interoperability. I have a view that's like

<ConstraintLayout>
<Toolbar/>
<Button/>
<ComposeView/>
<Button/>
<ConstraintLayout/>

And what's happening is that once the focus enters the ComposeView, trying to navigate through pressing tab, the focus only navigates within this ComposeView. Directional navigation (pressing down) works but that's not what I want here. Does anyone know the best way to approach this?

The closes I got this to work on a simple test I'm doing here was defining a callback:

val fcsCallback : () -> Unit = {
      button2.requestFocus()
   }

And do something like:

modifier = Modifier.onPreviewKeyEvent {
    when {
        KeyEventType.KeyUp == it.type && Key.Tab == it.key -> {
            fcsCallback()
            true
        }
        else -> false
    }
}

On my last composable on that ComposeView. It's still buggy but the focus gets out
