Avalonia Input and Commands

Start with:

../../references/18-input-system-and-routed-events.md
../../references/19-focus-and-keyboard-navigation.md
../../references/24-commands-hotkeys-and-gestures.md

Load these when the interaction surface needs them:

../../references/34-dragdrop-workflows.md
../../references/57-scrollviewer-offset-anchoring-and-snap-points.md
../../references/58-textbox-editing-clipboard-undo-and-input-options.md
../../references/36-adorners-focus-and-overlay-layers.md

Workflow

Decide whether the interaction belongs in routed events, commands, or control state.
Keep focus order, key handling, and command routing explicit.
Model drag/drop and text-editing behavior as part of the interaction contract, not as incidental details.
Validate pointer, keyboard, and programmatic interaction paths separately.

Rules

Prefer command and state dispatch over large event-handler trees.
Keep access-key, focus, and keyboard-navigation rules testable.
Treat text editing and drag/drop as behavior with edge cases, not cosmetic features.
