Have a look at GUI.GetNameOfFocusedControl() and GUI.SetNextControlName() in the documentation. That should point you in the right direction.

It's in the docs. Give the text field a name, then you can check if that specific gui element (your textfield) is focused/selected. If someone's writing to it it will be selected.

Then name them textfield1 textfield2 etc and don't test for equality but rather use name.Contains("textfield")
