# Focusing & Blurring the Window

**Focus**

`fig.focus()` — takes focus away from the terminal and gives it to your app. When the user types, their input will be directed to your app.

**Blur**

`fig.blur()` — returns focus to the terminal window. When the user types, their input will go to shell.

> Note: `fig.run` and `fig.insert` are sensitive to changes to app focus. If you need to use one of them and then change window focus using `fig.blur()` or `fig.focus()`, make sure to delay by at least 500 milliseconds.

> ```javascript
> fig.run('whoami')
> setTimeout(() => {
>   fig.focus()
> }, 500)
