How to completly disable focus system

Question

I'd like to disable focus system in a JavaFX application. That means no focus traversal, no control could receive focus, so it would never have corresponding graphic decoration and would never receive keyboard events. All keyboard events should be caught and processed by the root node (or stage).

What should I extend/rewrite to disable focus system?

To get rid of focus highlights, see [good4em's answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/28032373/1155209) and set those values in the `.root` of your stylesheet. — jewelsea, Jul 04 '15 at 00:40
I don't have any suggestions for that, which is why I only provided a comment and not an answer. — jewelsea, Jul 04 '15 at 16:44

To process all keyboard events in the root node, do

root.addEventFilter(KeyEvent.ANY, e -> {
    // handle keyboard event...
    e.consume();
});

Looks like hack. Something like redefining Scene.keyHandler and Scene.requestFocus seems more straitforward – ayvango Jul 04 '15 at 14:10
I don't think of this as a hack; it's exactly the way the API is intended to be used. – James_D Jul 04 '15 at 14:54
