Research direction

Start by locating the HTMLElement.focus() and FocusOptions declarations in TypeScript's DOM typings. Check how the existing focus options are represented, then add the FocusVisible property to the appropriate declaration. Done means TypeScript accepts FocusVisible when calling HTMLElement.focus().

✅ Viability Checklist

This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
This isn't a request to add a new utility type: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/No-New-Utility-Types
This feature would agree with the rest of our Design Goals: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/TypeScript-Design-Goals

⭐ Suggestion

Typescript should now support the FocusVisible property of FocusOptions.

📃 Motivating Example

The FocusVisible FocusOption is now supported on all major browsers except Samsung Internet. It is supported on all desktop browsers. It was stated under the previous issue on the topic that a new issue should be opened when the feature is more widely supported, and it is now more widely supported.
