How can I defocus all inputs on a page easily?

0

I'm using a Chrome extension called Vimium which allows me to navigate quickly through a page, it inserts letters as commands on all the parts of the page that I can iteract with when I press f on the keyboard, but it is only enabled if the element I selected isn't an input (because if I press it on input, obviously I type something).

In some cases I'm having a little difficulty with navigation:

  • When I open a page and it starts with an input focused, then I need to press tab to go to the next element, then I can use the extension as normal.
  • When I select an input or other entry element, and there are many other inputs after that, I need to tap tab many times to escape all of them.

Is there a way to remove focus from all inputs on the page at once, or automatically?

2Have you tried pressing Esc? – davidmneedham – 2018-08-09T14:21:43.153

@davidmneedham It worked, thanks! That defocus the element and focus on window or something like that? Do you know the behaviour after the defocus? – Felipe Augusto – 2018-08-09T14:24:48.020

After the input is not focused, you can use f to navigate with links as if you navigated to a page without any inputs focused from the start. – davidmneedham – 2018-08-09T14:28:17.037

As suggested by @davidmneedham, pressing esc works.
