Keybinding for "Switch Focus To Editor"

[DanEEStar]

I can map a keybinding to go to the terminal like "terminal_panel::ToggleFocus".
But I could not map a keybinding to go back to the editor from the terminal.
There are different ActivatePane... actions.

A workaround is the binding to ["workspace::ActivatePane", 0].
But I want to go back to the editor to the last pane I was in before...

I have this in my keymap.json:

  {
    "context": "Terminal",
    "bindings": {
      "ctrl-w t": "terminal_panel::ToggleFocus"
    }
  }

Does that work?

This works!

@mrnugget I am just these days working through your interpreter book by the way. I really like it.
Nice coincidence. 😃

Glad to hear it! :)

Thanks for the discussion, I was able to achieve the expected behavior for the terminal pane, however I would like my shortcut to work globally for any pane. There I am struggling to make it work for the assistant pane. I use ctrl-e for switching back to the editor pane, so I would expect the following keymap entry to work.

  {
    "context": "AssistantPanel",
    "bindings": {
      "ctrl-shift-e": "assistant::ToggleFocus"
    }
  },

This does not do anything, unfortunately. Any help would be appreciated :)

There seems to be a default keycode now, it works for toggling between editor and terminal:

 CTRL + `

Ctrl+</key> closes the terminal when switching focus to the editor. Upon checking the Keymap, I found that <key>Ctrl</key>+<key> is set to terminal panel: toggle in Workspace context, and Ctrl+~ is set to workspace: new terminal in Workspace context.

For my keyboard (and I assume for most others), ` and ~ are on the same physical key, so triggering one also triggers the other. Is there a shortcut or setting that switches without closing the terminal?

Update: I solved with the following keybinds. I had to remove the existing ones for the keystrokes.

  {
    "context": "Workspace",
    "unbind": {
      "ctrl-`": "terminal_panel::ToggleFocus"
    }
  },
  {
    "context": "Terminal",
    "bindings": {
      "ctrl-`": "editor::ToggleFocus"
    }
  }
