Description

It would be so great to have an autofocus prop on EditableText. But even without it, I can't find a way to make my EditableText focus when my component mount, has anyone managed to do it ?

Research direction
Look at the EditableText component in the Blueprint codebase (likely under packages/core/src/components/editable text/). Understand how it currently handles focus. Implement an optional autofocus prop that focuses the component on mount. Use React's useRef and useEffect hooks. Check existing patterns like InputGroup's autoFocus prop for consistency.
