Stop pointless notifications & auto changing to Output tab when canceling operations

[jonnypetraglia]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Maddening that, every time I cancel something like a Push via the notification I get TWO notifications (one "warning" me it was canceled and the other reporting that it "failed to run") and more importantly, it switches to the Output tab.

Describe the solution you'd like
At the very least give a setting to disable the 3 things:

1. Warning for "Canceled" when I'm the one who JUST clicked canceled.
2. Error for "Failed to Run" when it literally didn't, it was canceled.
3. Stop auto changing tabs, period, even when not canceling. I don't ever want it to shift the focus away from my terminal while I'm typing. This is aggressively disruptive.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Literally no workarounds. From googling around it seems that this is indeed a plugin thing and not something in VS Code by default.

Hi @jonnypetraglia thanks for sharing this feedback! It sounds like the dual notification of the cancellation and failure is distracting. For the third point, can you share any specific instances when the focus shifts away from your terminal while you're typing? We've been doing work to address that behavior across the extensions, so if you're able to give us some repro steps we can look into it further!

@AnanyaJha I can give more detailed steps if needed but a super simple step for reproducing is merely to run some tests; when the tests finish, if there were failures, it switches me to the Output tab, even if I'm typing into my terminal or doing a find or anything else in another tab.

Just checking up on this since it's been a few months. Has this at least been identified as something to put on the roadmap?

Hi @jonnypetraglia thanks for checking in. We've pulled it into our backlog and it's on our roadmap for later on this year, I'll post here with more details once we have it!
