adding onfocus event to sap.m.Input

Hi, I don’t know if here is the right place to start a discussion about new features. I’m missing on some classes like Input the onfocus event (especially for adding it in XML view). I know that I can set an event via controller. But in some cases you have a form with a lot of input boxes and it doesn’t make sense and comfort to add these in the controller. Great would be this: <Input onfocus=".myEvent" />

Do you agree? BR

@stephania87 The use case can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/q/58934859/5846045

What I want is a formular and a possibility, that when I navigate e.g. with keyboard through a table with input fields, that every time when I press <kbd>tab</kbd> or arrow <kbd>up/down</kbd> to jump to next input field, the whole content of the box should be selected. (…) Example: https://ui5.sap.com/#/entity/sap.m.Table/sample/sap.m.sample.TableEditable (Click on <kbd>Edit</kbd>). When tabbing, it automatically selects the text. But it doesn’t work with <kbd>up/down</kbd> arrow.

IMHO, controls shouldn’t expose basic browser events to be handled within the view definition. Instead, the actual enhancement request here would be to allow selecting all input text when navigating with <kbd>up/down</kbd> arrow keys, too, in the case of sap.m.ListBase/.Table with the keyboardMode "Edit".

Either way, a simple notepad control would also do the job: https://embed.plnkr.co/98BIbMEIujbzBXqU
