Clearing the textarea on escape?

https://code.sololearn.com/WhH3Q09RHeQj/#js So I need this textarea to be cleared when escape is pressed, but only if the textarea is focused/active. Otherwise, It should alert the user that he/she must focus the textarea before they can clear it. Can somebody help me? I know how to clear it with escape, the problem is I need it to clear ONLY if the textarea is focused/active.

That's what it was initially Calviղ I changed it to body while experimenting and I guess I saved it by accident either way, it doesn't do exactly what I wanted it to I tried hasFocus but I couldn't get it to work :(
