I'm just making a megathread for all the issues we've got so far, because there's a bunch, and I'm getting the feeling there needs to be some other comprehensive solution.

  • Clicking the current tab to raise the window should focus the text area #3609
  • ESC from the Tab ContextMenu should return focus to the Terminal #5750
  • Launching "Find" from Command Palette doesn't focus the search box #6662
    • Unsure when exactly this was fixed
  • Focus bug 1
    • open command palette
    • press shift+tab
    • your focus is now in the underlying terminal
      • As of 1.7, now the focus is gone from the world?
        • As of at least 1.9, this takes focus to the command list.
  • Focus bug 2
    • open command palette
    • type in asdf, or anything that causes no results to match.
    • press tab
    • your focus is now gone from this world
    • Unsure when exactly this was fixed
  • The "Rename tab" action removes focus from terminal #9160 (PR: #9162)

if we don't manually yeet the focus back into the active control, then pressing esc to close the command palette actually ends up with focus in the first Tab, similar to in #5750.

I do have one open PR: "When the tab receives focus, immediately move focus to the active control #6290", but I have no idea if that's the right solution. It doesn't feel like it is.
