Clicking outside the palette did nothing, because nothing was listening: the wash took no pointer input at all, so the only ways out were a key and the button that opened it. It now closes on a press whose source is the wash itself, which is what separates outside from inside — a press on the card bubbles through the same handler on its way to the window, and closing on those would make the palette impossible to click into. The caret never reached the query box either. The window focused it from the view model's PropertyChanged, and that handler runs before the binding which reveals the control — measured, with the same wiring, in a replica window. So it focused a control that was still collapsed, which Avalonia treats as a no-op and does not replay when the control is revealed, and the keyboard stayed wherever the click that opened the palette had left it. Becoming visible is now what triggers it, posted rather than called: a control that has never been laid out has no visual children, and at the instant IsVisible turns true the box still reports IsAttachedToVisualTree() == false. Escape, Enter and the arrows move to the palette as a tunnelled handler. Answering them only on the window was fragile in the way that matters here: anything on the route that took a key first would silence them, and with the focus never landing in the palette the key was being pressed at whatever the opening click had focused — a focused Button eats Enter. The window keeps Ctrl+K, which has to work when the palette is not showing, and forwards the rest as the net for a press that arrives from outside the palette. Which is also why this moved out of MainWindow rather than being fixed there. Showing MainWindow initialises WebView2 on a thread it refuses, so nothing on that window can be tested — the palette shipped with no test of any kind. As a UserControl it hosts in a bare window and takes real key and pointer input, and there are now six: press on the wash closes, press on the card does not, Escape closes, the arrows move the selection without taking the caret out of the box, Enter takes the highlighted host, and the palette takes the keyboard when it appears.
