This remains an outstanding piece, thank you. Beginning in iOS 15, we can use @FocusedState to set the focus. Consulting some other resources, I created an enum at the top of the AddThingView struct:

enum FocusedField {
    case shortText, longText
  }

I also added an @FocusState property:

@FocusState private var focusedField: FocusedField?

The body of AddThingView now looks like this:

var body: some View {
    VStack {
      TextField("TIL", text: $short)
        .focused($focusedField, equals: .shortText)
        .task { self.focusedField = .shortText }
        .disableAutocorrection(true)
        .autocapitalization(.allCharacters)
      TextField(
                "Thing I Learned",
                text: $long,
                onEditingChanged: { _ in },
                onCommit: { saveAndExit() }
                )
      .focused($focusedField, equals: .longText)
      .autocapitalization(.words)
      Button("Done") {
        saveAndExit()
      }
      Spacer()
    }
    .onSubmit {
                if focusedField == .shortText {
                    focusedField = .longText
                } else {
                    focusedField = nil
                }
            }
    .padding()
    .textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
  }

This works to get a blinking cursor into the first field when the view loads, but it still doesn’t pop the keyboard. I think that’s a known issue.

FocusedState was to be my question.
Thank you Susannah for your code on this.
