How to get the focus (cursor) from the editor to the panel(terminal) visual studio code extension

I am writing a visual studio code extension and at some point, when I call a command to open and run a script at the terminal, I want simultaneously the terminal to take the focus (cursor) from everywhere else.

Thank you in advance.

>Solution :

It is as simple as this:

vscode.commands.executeCommand("workbench.action.terminal.focus");

You’re basically invoking a command with the same identifier you’d use if you were to assign it to a keyboard shortcut – and you can look up other commands in the editor itself if you invoke workbench.action.openGlobalKeybindings.
