the VTE/terminal still has input focus.
I used an external terminal window (xfce4-terminal). ("Virtual terminal support" is not even loaded.)
You can jump to the editor using the "Switch to Editor" keybinding
Yes I know. This key, and the LeftArrow, RightArrow, UpArrow keys moves the focus to the editor window. The users' expectation is that the editor already got the focus (when that file was opened). (Where is the focus, if not on the editor? Why? In my scenario there is no VTE, no messages, no sidebar, no previous open document.)
