<b>Subject: </b>Re: Proposal: Focus Traversal API<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Maybe we can polish the naming a bit:<br>
<br>
When used as a transitive verb, "traverse" means (according to<br>
Merriam-Webster): to go or travel across or over, to move or pass<br>
along or through.<br>
<br>
MW gives the example: "light rays traversing a crystal". So one thing<br>
is moving (light rays), while the other thing is static (a crystal).<br>
Cambridge gives the example "Stanley traversed the continent from west<br>
to east." Again, "Stanley" is moving, "the continent" is static.<br>
<br>
Since "traverseFocus" is a transitive verb followed by a direct noun,<br>
it sounds to me like "focus" is the thing that can be traversed over<br>
or across.<br>
As an analogy, let's call the method "traverseContinent" for a moment.<br>
It becomes obvious that "continent" is the space which is traveled<br>
across, and not the thing travelling.<br>
<br>
In our case, "focus" is the moving thing, not the thing that it is<br>
moved across. I would use something like "moveFocus", "shiftFocus", or<br>
something along those lines.<br>
<br>
As for "TraversalDirection", I think it is acceptable, but I'll note<br>
that to me, "direction" implies one of the four directional modes, not<br>
the two logical modes (previous and next).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
