* In v1 it was not possible to remove focus from a view. `HasFocus` as a get-only property. In v2, `view.HasFocus` can be set as well. Setting to `true` is equivalent to calling `view.SetFocus`. Setting to `false` is equivalent to calling `view.SuperView.AdvanceFocus` (which might not actually cause `view` to stop having focus).
* In v1, calling `super.Add (view)` where `view.CanFocus == true` caused all views up the hierarchy (all SuperViews) to get `CanFocus` set to `true` as well. In v2, developers need to explicitly set `CanFocus` for any view in the view-hierarchy where focus is desired. This simplifies the implementation and removes confusing automatic behavior.
* In v1, if `view.CanFocus == true`, `Add` would automatically set `TabStop`. In v2, the automatic setting of `TabStop` in `Add` is retained because it is not overly complex to do so and is a nice convenience for developers to not have to set both `Tabstop` and `CanFocus`. Note v2 does NOT automatically change `CanFocus` if `TabStop` is changed.
* `view.TabStop` now describes the behavior of a view in the focus-chain. the `TabBehavior` enum includes `NoStop` (the view may be focusable, but not via next/prev keyboard nav), `TabStop` (the view may be focusable, and `NextTabStop`/`PrevTabStop` keyboard nav will stop), `TabGroup` (the view may be focusable, and `NextTabGroup`/`PrevTabGroup` keyboard nav will stop).
* In v1, the `View.Focused` property was a cache of which view in `SubViews/TabIndexes` had `HasFocus == true`. There was a lot of logic for keeping this property in sync. In v2, `View.Focused` is a get-only, computed property.
* In v1, the `View.OnEnter/Enter` and `View.OnLeave/Leave` virtual methods/events could be used to notify that a view had gained or lost focus, but had confusing semantics around what it mean to override (requiring calling `base`) and bug-ridden behavior on what the return values signified. The "Enter" and "Leave" terminology was confusing. In v2, the terminology is "Focus" and "Blur", matching modern web frameworks and the `View.OnFocus/Focus` and `View.OnBlur/Blur` virtual methods/events follow standard dotnet event patterns. The `OnFocus/Focus` event supports being cancelled.
* In v1, the `View.MostFocused` property recursed down the subview-hierarchy on each get. In addition, because only one View in an application can be the "most focused", it doesn't make sense for this property to be on every View. In v2, this API is removed. Use `Application.Navigation.GetFocused()` instead.
* The v1 APIs `View.EnsureFocus`/`FocusNext`/`FocusPrev`/`FocusFirst`/`FocusLast` are replaced in v2 with these APIs that accomplish the same thing, more simply.
- `public bool AdvanceFocus (NavigationDirection direction, TabBehavior? behavior)`
- `public bool FocusDeepest (NavigationDirection direction, TabBehavior? behavior)`
* In v1, the `View.OnEnter/Enter` and `View.OnLeave/Leave` virtual methods/events could be used to notify that a view had gained or lost focus, but had confusing semantics around what it mean to override (requiring calling `base`) and bug-ridden behavior on what the return values signified. The "Enter" and "Leave" terminology was confusing. In v2, `View.OnHasFocusChanging/HasFocusChanging` and `View.OnHasFocusChanged/HasFocusChanged` replace `View.OnEnter/Enter` and `View.OnLeave/Leave`. These virtual methods/events follow standard Terminal.Gui event patterns. The `View.OnHasFocusChanging/HasFocusChanging` event supports being cancelled.
* In v1, the concept of `Mdi` views included a large amount of complex code (in `Toplevel` and `Application`) for dealing with navigation across overlapped Views. This has all been radically simplified in v2. Any View can work in an "overlapped" or "tiled" way. See [navigation.md](navigation.md) for more details.
* The `View.TabIndex` and `View.TabIndexes` have been removed. Change the order of the views in `View.Subviews` to change the navigation order.
