Is it possible to change focus in dialog window after input?
For instance, after the input changed (there could be any value) the focus should be on the button, so that we could press Enter on the keyboard to submit the dialog.

Same procedure as in your other thread

var w = new Window("dialog", "Example Dialog");
w.dialogGroup = w.add("group");
w.dialogGroup.el1 = w.dialogGroup.add("edittext", undefined, "Edit Text 1");
w.dialogGroup.el2 = w.dialogGroup.add("edittext", undefined, "Edit Text 2");
w.dialogGroup.el1.active = true;
w.quitBtn = w.add("button", undefined, "Ok");
w.defaultElement = w.quitBtn;
w.dialogGroup.el1.onChange = function() {
    w.quitBtn.active = true;
    }
w.show();

Have fun

In your snippet.

That's really hard. For me the snippet works as expected (but did only tried from ESTK).

Sometimes Illu scripts make strange things. Maybe try this cumbersome workaround PromptToSaveChanges / ScriptUI Default Highlighted Button
