HTMLElement API: inert

The HTMLElement property inert is a boolean value that, when present, makes the browser ignore user input events for the element, including focus events and events from assistive technologies. The browser may also ignore page search and text selection in the element. This can be useful when building UIs such as modals where you would want to trap the focus inside the modal when it's visible.
