Issue Description

Not sure if it's by design but running selection using F8 defaults the cursor location to the integrated terminal meaning you have to move back to the editor.

Tested on a colleagues VSCode and his cursor remains in the editor when using F8 to run selection. Unsure which version he is using specifically unfortunately.

ISE also remains in the editor.

Whoops, forgot about this issue when I filed #556. At any rate, this has been fixed now, will be shipped in a day or so!

this issue is still there on multiple install I have made within the last month?

Can I disable it?

[brettmillerb]

You can add the setting to your profile @jakobGSvendsen.

"powershell.integratedConsole.focusConsoleOnExecute": false

I spoke to @daviwil about it and the setting couldn't be implemented by default so it's now a user setting.

Hey Jakob! Brett is correct, we had to leave "focus console on execute" as the default behavior due to accessibility requirements. If you add the setting that Brett pasted to your User Settings, you'll get the behavior that you want.
