Right now you have to script around it. It seems there should be a
property of a stack that would return the name of the field that has
focus for that stack.
Here is some code I use in a library stack for tracking the last
active field of a stack. I like to mark the field with a light grey
background when it is suspended and restore the background to empty
when the stack resumes. This code also creates two getProps that
return the selectedChunk and selectedField for a stack. In order for
the library to track fields in a stack you must set the uWindow
["Name"] prop of the stack to some value. Maybe this will help.
