Opening a note put no cursor anywhere, so carrying on cost a tap into the body and usually a second one to drag the caret past the existing text. The compose sheet has always focused its field on open; the editor never did, and continuing a note is the more common act of the two. Focus the body on open, caret at the end. Not for a trashed note — that renders read-only and a keyboard over a record you cannot edit is noise. Keyed on note.id so the reused editor re-requests when pointed at a different note. The caret position is why the body state moves from String to TextFieldValue: a String field always starts its selection at offset zero, so focusing one lands the cursor before the first character — the wrong end of a note you meant to continue. PlainTextField gains a TextFieldValue overload for it, and the two overloads share one colours definition rather than growing a second copy of the "no box" treatment this file exists to keep in one place. I recorded this backwards in Scribe 2947 — as the keyboard opening unwanted, when the report was the opposite. The source having no FocusRequester was the tell, and I read it as a mystery instead of as evidence I had the direction wrong. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
