To be clear, the blog writer did the best he could & acknowledged that the approach he was forced to take was fragile & incomplete.

Sent by: "openjfx-dev" <openjfx-dev-boun...@openjdk.java.net> Can a control in JavaFX refuse focus? Often you don't want buttons in a toolbar to receive focus. Although the ToolBar javadoc states that focusTraversable is set to false, in Ensemble8, the buttons in the toolbar both are in the focus traversal cycle & receive focus when clicked on. In this post ( http://bekwam.blogspot.co.nz/2014/11/javafx-cut-copy-and-paste-from-toolbar.html ) linked to from FX Experience, the fellow does a fragile & incomplete workaround for this problem. Making the button not be focus traversable isn't good enough (if I understand it correctly), because the user could still click on the button & then it would take focus. Node.isCanReceiveFocus() is, of course, not overridable, so that avenue is blocked.
