Make the cursor focus automatically switch to the terminal after clicking the run button.

[molly-w]

I would like to be able to click the run button, and then have the cursor's focus automatically switch to the terminal so I can input stuff to the Python program. Is there an easy way to set this up? I am using the standard Python extension.

It would be nice to have this option to keep from typing over code. Thanks in advance.

I swear the terminal used to auto-focus when running code. (at least in Python). I do keep forgetting and start to mess up my code before I realize what's happening way too often. I tried using tasks.json > "presentation" and setting "reveal": "always", and "focus": true, but that didn't work either. You've definitely got my vote for bringing back the auto-focus-to-terminal-when-code-is-run!
