Hello folks. I'm wondering if anyone might have a more elegant solution to handling focus for multiple TextFields when triggering the ImeAction. I basically have a column of TextFields, and it seems like each field in the column scope must have its own FocusRequester. But perhaps FocusOrderModifier is what this is for...anyone have an example of how to use that? Here's what I have working so far:

val firstNameFocus = remember { FocusRequester()}
    val lastNameFocus = remember { FocusRequester() }
    val emailFocus = remember { FocusRequester() }
    val passwordFocus = remember{ FocusRequester() }

    Column(Modifier.padding(16.dp)) {
        onActive {
            firstNameFocus.requestFocus()
        }
        CommonTextField(
            value = firstName,
            onTextChange = onFirstNameChange,
            modifier = Modifier.padding(8.dp).fillMaxWidth().focusRequester(firstNameFocus),
            label = { Text("First Name") },
            onImeAction = {lastNameFocus.requestFocus()}
        )
        CommonTextField(
            value = lastName,
            onTextChange = onLastNameChange,
            modifier = Modifier.padding(8.dp).fillMaxWidth().focusRequester(lastNameFocus),
            label = { Text("Last Name") },
            onImeAction = {emailFocus.requestFocus()}
        )

        CommonTextField(
            value = email,
            onTextChange = onEmailChange,
            modifier = Modifier.padding(8.dp).fillMaxWidth().focusRequester(emailFocus),
            label = { Text("Email") },
            onImeAction = {passwordFocus.requestFocus()}
        )
        PasswordTextField(
            value = password,
            onTextChange = onPasswordChange,
            modifier = Modifier.padding(8.dp).fillMaxWidth().focusRequester(passwordFocus),
            label = { Text("Password") },
            isPasswordVisible = remember { mutableStateOf(true) },
            onImeAction = {viewModel.registerUser(firstName, lastName, email, password)}
        )

There is an api to move focus programmatically, take a look

unfortunately it is not there yet, but we are thinking/planning to reduce the code when the ime action is defined to be next previous etc.

Awesome. As always I'll be looking forward to the next release 🙂
