Every time that I press arrowDown, the focus switches to the element below the before one, so I wanna do a loop like this:  
For ${counter} IN RANGE 0 999  
${element}= Get Actual Focused Element  
${element\_text}= Get Text ${element}  
Exit For Loop If ${element\_text} == Desired Text  
Keyboard Key arrowDown ${element}

There’s any way to do that using the browserlibrary? I think that’s already possible in SeleniumLibrary

Currently this is not possible out of the box, but should be relative easy to implement [[Feature] hasFocus method on element · Issue #2159 · microsoft/playwright · GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/2159#issuecomment-991185546)

Can you raise an issue so that it gets implemented
