Issue
Quill automatically moves focus to the editor after applying formatting
When using Quill (v2), triggering formatting actions (bold, italic, color, etc.) from a toolbar button forces focus back to the editor, even if the action was initiated from a toolbar control.
This creates an accessibility problem, especially for keyboard and screen reader users, because:
The user activates a toolbar button (e.g., “Bold”)
Quill applies the formatting correctly
But Quill also forces focus away from the toolbar
The user loses their position in the toolbar and must navigate back manually
This breaks expected keyboard navigation patterns (WCAG 2.1.1, 2.4.3, 3.2.1)
For accessibility-compliant toolbars, focus should remain on the action button unless the developer explicitly moves it.
Feature request
I would like to be able to configure Quill so that formatting operations do not move focus back to the editor.
The focus should stay on the toolbar button that initiated the action.
