Focus management is really scattered across the codebase. There's sort
of a battle between different code paths to make the focus the correct
desired state. It seemed to grow like a knot and once I started pulling
on one thread to see if it was still needed you could see underneath
that it was accounting for another thing underneath that perhaps wasn't
needed.
The impetus for this PR came but especially during the text label
rework, now that it's much more easy to jump around from textfield to
textfield. It became apparent that we were playing whack-a-mole trying
to preserve the right focus conditions (especially on iOS, ugh).
This tries to remove as many hacks as possible, and bring together in
place the focus logic (and in the darkness, bind them).
## Places affected
- [x] `useEditableText`: was able to remove a bunch of the focus logic
here. In addition, it doesn't look like we need to save the selection
range anymore.
- lingering footgun that needed to be fixed anyway: if there are two
labels in the same shape, because we were just checking `editingShapeId
=== id`, the two text labels would have just fought each other for
control
- [x] `useFocusEvents`: nixed and refactored — we listen to the store in
`FocusManager` and then take care of autoFocus there
- [x] `useSafariFocusOutFix`: nixed. not necessary anymore because we're
not trying to refocus when blurring in `useEditableText`. original PR
for reference: https://github.com/tldraw/brivate/pull/79
- [x] `defaultSideEffects`: moved logic to `FocusManager`
- [x] `PointingShape` focus for `startTranslating`, decided to leave
this alone actually.
- [x] `TldrawUIButton`: it doesn't look like this focus bug fix is
needed anymore, original PR for reference:
https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/pull/2630
- [x] `useDocumentEvents`: left alone its manual focus after the Escape
key is hit
- [x] `FrameHeading`: double focus/select doesn't seem necessary anymore
- [x] `useCanvasEvents`: `onPointerDown` focus logic never happened b/c
in `Editor.ts` we `clearedMenus` on pointer down
- [x] `onTouchStart`: looks like `document.body.click()` is not
necessary anymore
## Future Changes
- [ ] a11y: work on having an accessebility focus ring
- [ ] Page visibility API:
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Page_Visibility_API)
events when tab is back in focus vs. background, different kind of focus
- [ ] Reexamine places we manually dispatch `pointer_down` events to see
if they're necessary.
- [ ] Minor: get rid of `useContainer` maybe? Is it really necessary to
have this hook? you can just do `useEditor` → `editor.getContainer()`,
feels superfluous.
## Methodology
Looked for places where we do:
- `body.click()`
- places we do `container.focus()`
- places we do `container.blur()`
- places we do `editor.updateInstanceState({ isFocused })`
- places we do `autofocus`
- searched for `document.activeElement`

### Release Notes
- Focus: rework and untangle existing focus management logic in the SDK
When we went from overrides-based to component based UI customisation
APIs, we didn't do the toolbar because it had some significant extra
complexity around overflowing the contents of the menu into the
dropdown. This is really hard to do at render-time with react - you
can't introspect what a component will return to move some of it into an
overflow.
Instead, this diff runs that logic in a `useLayoutEffect` - we render
all the items into both the main toolbar and the overflow menu, then in
the effect (or if the rendered components change) we use CSS to remove
the items we don't need, check which was last active, etc. Originally, I
wasn't really into this approach - but i've actually found it to work
super well and be very reliable.

Rename `@tldraw/tldraw` to just `tldraw`! `@tldraw/tldraw` still exists
as an alias to `tldraw` for folks who are still using that.
### Test Plan
- [x] Unit Tests
- [ ] End to end tests
### Release Notes
- The `@tldraw/tldraw` package has been renamed to `tldraw`. You can
keep using the old version if you want though!
This PR replaces the `.value` getter for the atom with `.get()`

This PR restores the controlled nature of focus. Focus allows keyboard
shortcuts and other interactions to occur. The editor's focus should
always / entirely be controlled via the autoFocus prop or by manually
setting `editor.instanceState.isFocused`.
Design note: I'm starting to think that focus is the wrong abstraction,
and that we should instead use a kind of "disabled" state for editors
that the user isn't interacting with directly. In a page where multiple
editors exit (e.g. a notion page), a developer could switch from
disabled to enabled using a first interaction.
### Change Type

### Test Plan
- [x] End to end tests
This PR removes the automatic focus events from the editor.
The `autoFocus` prop is now true by default. When true, the editor will
begin in a focused state (`editor.instanceState.isFocused` will be
`true`) and the component will respond to keyboard shortcuts and other
interactions. When false, the editor will begin in an unfocused state
and not respond to keyboard interactions.
**It's now up to the developer** using the component to update
`isFocused` themselves. There's no predictable way to do that on our
side, so we leave it to the developer to decide when to turn on or off
focus for a container (for example, using an intersection observer to
"unfocus" components that are off screen).
### Change Type
- [x] `major` — Breaking change
### Test Plan
1. Open the multiple editors example.
2. Click to focus each editor.
3. Use the keyboard shortcuts to check that the correct editor is
focused.
4. Start editing a shape, then select the other editor. The first
editing shape should complete.

### Release Notes
- [editor] Make autofocus default, remove automatic blur / focus events.
