Get focus on load? #1513

Related to #1511

Key shortcuts currently do not work until the user has clicked on the canvas. I think it makes sense for a user to immediately want to press ctrl/command+O to open a project. Snap! seems to focus itself automatically (I think it's https://github.com/jmoenig/Snap/blob/5937085ed8c0837f82d7372d1eb938ae7fc07362/src/gui.js#L434 , but we have similar ), we should do the same (when not running in an iframe?).

Hmm... This needs further exploration as we have the same logic (line 155 of gui-ext.js)

It looks like it's not the world canvas that needs focus, it's the morphic_keyboard. On Snap, document.activeElement is set to it on load, while NetsBlox does have the canvas focused.
