Congratulations on figuring it out! :+1:

But for the benefit of anyone else reading this becuase they are confused, let's break the selector down:

  • input :point_left: only <input> elements will be selected
  • [type="text"] :point_left: the element must also have a type property set to "text"
  • :focus :point_left: and this element must currently have focus (be the one taking input)
