Hi! I have tried both using autobinding and triggering a workflow to change data when the input value has changed. However, in both cases, they would require me to click outside the element or to remove focus on the input. Is there a way to do this without removing focus on the input? Thank you!

I am building a notetaking app, so users could type a lot of things in the editor but accidentally hit on refresh or click outside the page, and never move out of the editor. In this c…
