Function: isTextEntryTarget()

function isTextEntryTarget(target: unknown): boolean;

Defined in: xrblocks-uiextensions/src/desktop-controls.ts:50

True when a key event is being typed into a DOM text field - <input>, <textarea>, <select> or anything contenteditable.

Overlays share the page with the scene (the devtools playground puts a source editor over it), and their keystrokes are theirs alone: WASD must not walk the camera mid-word, and Space must reach the field instead of being swallowed as a jump.

A structural check rather than instanceof HTMLElement, so it stays unit-testable with no DOM.
