I remember struggling to get focus working in my widgets too. In my
case the problem turned out to be forgetting to set the CAN_FOCUS flag
in _init(). Have you tried this?

Needs to be called at some point for every widget object that can take
focus. Though perhaps the parent class should do this for you? Maybe
worth a try anyway.
