> I have a window with many components on it. There is a submit button at the bottom of the screen. After it is press the focus returns to the top left input box on screen. I would really like it to set focus to no component on screen, then user can click into which component they want to change.

According to this, you can't have nothing focused, so try the script in the above post for focusing to the root container  
**EDIT**  
Also, consider using different keys. the function keys, which I tested, worked no matter which component had focus  
Finally, you can use control+left and control+right with a button in focus and it works
