Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I rename a tab (edit_tab_title in key bindings), the focus is lost and I need to use the mouse to refocus the terminal.

Describe the solution you'd like
I expect the renamed tab to be focused after a renaming (this would avoid using the mouse to refocus it).

Describe alternatives you've considered
I dont know of any alternative other than to use the mouse to re-focus the terminal

Additional context
os - ArchLinux
terminator version - 2.1.2

Same here (also on Arch).

I do CTRL-SHIFT-a to rename a tab. When I hit Enter, the focus is NOT on the terminal prompt.

What I then do is to press SHIFT-TAB to move the focus back to the prompt. Not ideal but much better than having to reach for the mouse.

Thank you. This is sufficient for me as this doesn't require me to use the mouse.

Out of curiosity, what action does Shift+Tab stand for? I cannot find it in the list of keybindings.

I think Shift+Tab is not mapped to anything (which I could find in the menu) for Terminator. Maybe it is a window manager thing or more or less standard way GUI toolkits (like GTK) handle focus. Even typing this message on Github I can do TAB and SHIFT+TAB to move focus to other UI elements.
