‌Edit Fields and Keyboard Focus

Edit fields are where you enter tracker names, mesh names, camera names, numeric values, etc. Edit fields hold on to the keyboard focus, so that additional keystrokes are added to the text field, even if the mouse wanders into an adjacent viewport that would normally interpret the key as an accelerator of some kind. Edit fields hold onto focus in this manner so you do not have to pay as much attention to the mouse, and especially for tablets.

When you are done entering text and want to resume normal mouse operations, hit the enter key. The keyboard focus can now be acquired by whatever window the mouse is in. You can also resume normal operations by clicking on something else.
