Python curses how to detect focus?

Question

is there a key to detect when the terminal is focused?

For example the KEY_RESIZE is used to detect when the terminal is resized.

Thanks

There's no predefined key, but with ncurses it is possible to define keys as done in the examples xterm-1002 and xterm-1003 , which use this xterm feature

xterm+focus|xterm focus-in/out event "keys",
        kxIN=\E[I, kxOUT=\E[O,

documented in XTerm Control Sequences . There's no predefined keycode, but a program could ask ncurses for the string corresponding to "kxIN" with tigetstr , and use key_defined to get the resulting keycode.
