I can't auto focus the first cell (by focus: ':eq(0)' )

let table = $(TABLE_ID).DataTable({
...
keys: {
   editor: editor,
   focus: ':eq(0)',
   blurable: false,
},
...
});

Please indicate what I am doing wrong!

Working solution is:

let table = $(TABLE_ID).DataTable({
...
initComplete: function () {
   table.cell(':eq(0)').focus();
}
...
});

But, why keys.focus: ':eq(0)' didn't work?

My guess is KeyTable tries the focus: ':eq(0)', option before the table is loaded from Ajax and the td is not in the DOM yet.
