Hi! I’m using Uppy in a little metaverse called Relm, and I’d like to be able to send the keyboard focus to Uppy immediately upon opening, so that a user could press “Cmd+C” and paste an image right away.

At present, they must first click the Dashboard / Drop files area, then press “Cmd+C”.

Is there a way to call `.focus()` on Uppy, or tell it to autofocus itself?
