Terminal Shell session tab selection should auto-focus terminal input #310766

Description

@yifan

When multiple shell sessions are open in the terminal, the current interaction requires two clicks to begin using a session: first selecting the session tab, and then clicking inside the terminal pane to focus it for input.

This introduces unnecessary friction in workflows that involve frequent switching between sessions.

Proposed Improvement:
Selecting a session tab should automatically focus the corresponding terminal pane, allowing immediate interaction with the shell using a single click.

This change would streamline the user experience and make session switching faster and more intuitive, especially for users managing multiple concurrent terminal sessions.
