After having used the terminal switcher for a few days, I realize that I'm always assuming that the keyboard focus moves when I change the active terminal, same what happens when using Open View from the command pallet. As it doesn't I often end up doing the wrong thing, i.e. type shell commands in the open editor, etc.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open two terminals and one editor
  2. Put the keyboard focus in the editor
  3. Use Switch active terminal to change the visible terminal
  4. Start typing
    -> the editor content is being modified

Reproduces without extensions: Yes
