I don’t need to review what I have typed, but would there be any way to send the keyboard input event to the terminal input when that option is selected?
|
|
Yes, there is a way. I've linked a PR that does mostly what you described. There are a few complications to sort out. If we do this, I'm not sure a setting would be needed, since most users would want this, I think? |
|
I also think this can be made default.

@jooyoungseo, would it work for you if we focus the terminal when a letter key is pressed in the accessible view? |
|
Yes, only letter keys because sometimes we have to use modifier keys in the Accessible View.

CC @meganrogge
I am a heavy terminal user and very frequently go back and forth accessible terminal view and terminal input.
In order to type something after verifying the terminal output in the buffer, I have to either press ctrl+DownArrow or ESC key first.
It would be even better if I could start typing in terminal buffer and it directly goes to the terminal input. Plese consider adding this c customization for some advanced users for their improved productivity.
