# acceptsFirstResponder

A Boolean value that indicates whether the view accepts first responder
status.

```
@MainActor @preconcurrency override dynamic var acceptsFirstResponder: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

An [`ARView`](/documentation/RealityKit/ARView) instance sets this value to `true` by default to indicate
that it does accept first responder status. See
<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/AppKit/NSResponder> for
more information about the responder chain.
