I think this *is* pretty much what I'm asking. I'm particularly
interested here in the case where the field contents have changed, so
selectionChanged does the trick for me. I'm not really sure why I
would care if the focus changes and the contents haven't changed. And
selectionChanged has the benefit (for me for this case) of not being
triggered if I bring a web browser to the front and then go back to
the app.
