This function is used by custom widget implementations; if you're
writing an app, you’d use Widget.grabFocus to move the focus
to a particular widget, and Container.setFocusChain to
change the focus tab order. So you may want to investigate those
functions instead.
Widget.childFocus is called by containers as the user moves
around the window using keyboard shortcuts. direction indicates
what kind of motion is taking place (up, down, left, right, tab
forward, tab backward). Widget.childFocus emits the
focus signal; widgets override the default handler
for this signal in order to implement appropriate focus behavior.
The default ::focus handler for a widget should return TRUE if
moving in direction left the focus on a focusable location inside
that widget, and FALSE if moving in direction moved the focus
outside the widget. If returning TRUE, widgets normally
call Widget.grabFocus to place the focus accordingly;
if returning FALSE, they don’t modify the current focus location.
