How do I shift the focus from the plugin over to the app after I’ve executed some actions on the document through the plugin? I want to avoid having to click on the document every time I have to undo. Currently the focus still stays on the plugin after I’ve clicked a button in it - hence “command + z” doesn’t work.

From ui.html:

window.top.focus();
// Or
window.parent.parent.focus();

There is nothing complicated in the code above. These lines shift focus to the window in which Figma’s native shortcuts work. That is, call any of these lines immediately after interacting with your plugin’s UI so that the user can use standard shortcuts.
