Unsolved How to pass the tab focus to the first visible item in a ListView?

[jeanmilost]

Consider the following example:

main.qml

import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Window 2.15
import QtQuick.Controls 2.15

ApplicationWindow
{
    objectName: "awMain"
    title: qsTr("Hello World")
    width: 640
    height: 480
    visible: true

    WQTButtonFrame
    {
        id: frHeader
        objectName: "frHeader"
        anchors.left: parent.left
        anchors.top: parent.top
        anchors.right: parent.right
        height: 35

        m_LeftText: "Left Top"
        m_MiddleText: "Center Top"
        m_RightText: "Right Top"
        m_BgColor: "#b02010"
    }

    ListView
    {
        id: lvListView
        anchors.left: parent.left
        anchors.top: frHeader.bottom
        anchors.right: parent.right
        anchors.bottom: frFooter.top
        currentIndex: -1
        flickableDirection: Flickable.VerticalFlick
        keyNavigationEnabled: true
        highlightFollowsCurrentItem: true
        activeFocusOnTab: false
        clip: true
        cacheBuffer: 300

        model: ListModel {}

        // item delegate
        delegate: ItemDelegate
        {
            implicitWidth: lvListView.width
            implicitHeight: 25

            Rectangle
            {
                anchors.fill: parent

                Button
                {
                    text: ">> Click Me! <<"
                    anchors.top: parent.top
                    anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
                    anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
                    width: 150
                }
            }
        }

        /**
        * Vertical scrollbar
        */
        ScrollBar.vertical: ScrollBar
        {
            // common properties
            id: sbListView
            parent: lvListView
            visible: true
            minimumSize: 0.1
        }
    }

    WQTButtonFrame
    {
        id: frFooter
        objectName: "frFooter"
        anchors.left: parent.left
        anchors.right: parent.right
        anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
        height: 35

        m_LeftText: "Left Bottom"
        m_MiddleText: "Center Bottom"
        m_RightText: "Right Bottom"
        m_BgColor: "#1020b0"
    }

    onActiveFocusItemChanged:
    {
        // found an item with active focus?
        if (activeFocusItem)
            // get the object name
            console.log(activeFocusItem.objectName);
    }

    /**
    * Called after the main window object was created
    */
    Component.onCompleted:
    {
        // fill the grid view
        for (var i = 0; i < 1000; ++i)
            lvListView.model.append({"rowId": i});
    }
}

WQTButtonFrame.qml

import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Window 2.15
import QtQuick.Controls 2.15
import QtQuick.Templates 2.15 as T

T.Frame
{
    property string m_LeftText
    property string m_MiddleText
    property string m_RightText
    property string m_BgColor: "transparent"

    objectName: "frFrame"

    Rectangle
    {
        objectName: "rcFrameBg"
        anchors.left: parent.left
        anchors.top: parent.top
        anchors.right: parent.right
        height: 35
        color: m_BgColor

        Button
        {
            objectName: "btLeft"
            text: m_LeftText
            anchors.left: parent.left
            anchors.top: parent.top
            anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
            width: 75
        }

        Button
        {
            objectName: "btMiddle"
            text: m_MiddleText
            anchors.top: parent.top
            anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
            anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
            width: 75
        }

        Button
        {
            objectName: "btRight"
            text: m_RightText
            anchors.top: parent.top
            anchors.right: parent.right
            anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
            width: 75
        }
    }
}

When I navigate with the Tab key through the buttons of the above form, I notice that the focus is always given to the button contained in the first item of the ListView, even if the view is scrolled. In the same way, the focus continue to be passed to buttons located onto invisible items when the focus reach the bottom of the view.

I need to receive the focus on the button located onto the first VISIBLE item of my ListView, and to pass the focus to the next button on the bottom of the view when the focus reaches the button located on the last VISIBLE item on the bottom of the ListView.

How can I achieve that?
