Disable autofocus when initializing the console

[ryandao]

Accoring to #85 and #65, autofocusing the console is quite annoying.

Why was the console capturing Ctrl + R anyway? Can't we just make sure we are capturing only the keys we need and maybe add Esc to unfocus the console? @colszowka seems like that would satisfy your complain?

@sime would that work for you? Or do you have other issues with it?

Personally I would prefer it unfocused on load rather than needing a
keystroke to do so.

The console actually is not registered to key combinations, so ctrl+r should work. Cmd+r works fine on Mac. Maybe it's an old version issue?

However, I'd prefer the console to be unfocused by default. Other people may also find it annoying.

If you inserted a <%= console %> helper and reloaded the page, it seems like a pretty clear signal that you intend to interact with the console. Perhaps the case is less strong on the error pages, but then there's not much else you can do on that page, so the autofocus doesn't seem like a problem to me personally.

Anyway, I don't feel strongly about this one way or the other, but we should probably figure out why Ctrl + R is not working.

I agree with @sime, @colszowk and others who find it annoying on error pages. It's a bit of a workflow-breaker to not be able to fix the error in one window, then return to the browser with a quick cmd-tab followed by cmd-r to refresh like before.

Definitely agree on this one. During development, I have the console hidden on each page with the ability to toggle its display whenever I need it (have found this incredibly useful).

Having the console display focused really kills my workflow when trying to quickly test pages in my app that have autofocused form fields.

I'd love the ability to tell the console to remain unfocused on load.

Agree with all of you. Will merge this as is, but I think @chancancode has the better idea here and we can investigate further why we eat up all the key combinations and how we can resolve it for good. Having the listeners on document may interfere with devs applications.

@ryandao, please, make the PRs from your fork from now on.
