in our Word web-addin, a user can click a button to apply a style in the activedocument.
Before the user can continue typing, he must first click in the document.
it would be great if we can call a method in the Javascript API to put the focus back to the document window after clicking a button in the addin

This is a major issue for our (Word) add-in customers. They are experienced Word users that use Word throughout their work day. Without this capability they have to grab the mouse and click to continue working many, many times a day. Please see the Github issue hee for more details and history: https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-js/issues/316#issuecomment-3131963751
I am also encountering this issue in Word. A function in the API that lets us shift focus back to the Office application is a must have in terms of UX
This is a major problem from a UX perspective - we need this to work...
Same for Excel too.
