Title Focus Issue While Creating New Posts

[ahmadawais]

This is UX flow issue. When I click the + button to create a new post, the first thing I want to do is add a title. Here's where I face a UX glitch.

Current UX-Flow

• Click the + button
• Either press tab to select the title or click on the title (which BTW doesn't pre-select the existing value i.e. (no title)) and add a new title.

Better UX-Flow would be:

• Click the + button
• The title element is pre-focused, i.e. (no title) value is pre-selected and all I have to do is type the title.

There should be a way for adding tabindex="n" (where n is the number of each control) to WP_Customize_Dynamic_Control type for each control. That would bring the focus right where it belongs.

@ahmadawais this should be fixed in #206. Could you test it?

[ahmadawais]

@westonruter Just tested it, UX Flow is still broken.

• Clicking on the input selects all, which is good!
• Auto-focus on the title (Currently, I have to press TAB or click with the pad. It should be autofocused)

@ahmadawais sure enough, it isn't working for me now either. I just amended the PR with another commit which may fix the issue: cf224e2

Could you re-try? It's not pretty how we currently have to include these delay/defer calls.

@westonruter Yep! Now it is working but the 500 delay is too much. I set it to 100 and it works fine.
