// HStack / VStack
// focus by component id: each View/Editor gets it's own incremental id at create
// Component: View(Arc<State>) -> multiple views can point to same state
// id 0 = prompt?
// when entering to prompt, it needs to direct Commands to last focus window
// -> prompt.trigger(focus_id), on_leave -> focus(focus_id)
// popups on another layer
