import androidx.compose.ui.focus.FocusDirection
import androidx.compose.ui.platform.LocalFocusManager

val focusManager = LocalFocusManager.current
Column {
    Row {
        Box(Modifier.focusable())
        Box(Modifier.focusable())
    }
    Row {
        Box(Modifier.focusable())
        Box(Modifier.focusable())
    }
    Button(onClick = { focusManager.moveFocus(FocusDirection.Right) }) { Text("Right") }
    Button(onClick = { focusManager.moveFocus(FocusDirection.Left) }) { Text("Left") }
    Button(onClick = { focusManager.moveFocus(FocusDirection.Up) }) { Text("Up") }
    Button(onClick = { focusManager.moveFocus(FocusDirection.Down) }) { Text("Down") }
}
