Python Environment + Terminal focus not working when key binding is used for workbench.action.terminal.new

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.45.1
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2020.5.86398
• OS and version: Linux x64 5.6.2-050602-generic (MINT)
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.6.9
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | …): venv
• Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions:
• Relevant/affected Python-related VS Code extensions and their versions:
• Jedi or Language Server? (i.e. what is "python.jediEnabled" set to; more info #3977):
• Value of the python.languageServer setting:

"python.jediEnabled": false,

Expected behaviour

Once the virtual environment is activated focus should be on terminal

Actual behaviour

Right now if I create a new terminal using key binding(ctrl+alt+insert) it creates a new terminal and active my virtual environment but I lose the focus. BTW, this happens sometimes(maybe 65%) which makes it more irritating.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use keybinding for new terminal:

    {
        "key": "ctrl+alt+insert",
        "command": "workbench.action.terminal.new"
    },

1. (In my case I already have other terminals running and terminal is open but the focus is on editor)
2. Keep the focus on the editor (writing code)
3. Hit the key bound to create new terminal (ctrl+alt+insert)
4. Try to type (Sometimes terminal got focus sometime don’t) 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for your reply! Seems like "workbench.action.terminal.new" and python.createTerminal don’t behave the same, so I’ve taken the conversation back to VS Code’s repo. I’ll close this issue for now so that we don’t have to keep an eye on 2 different issues, but I’ll reopen it if necessary.

Hi, @kimadeline Thanks for reviewing it.

Does it mean that if you work with the default Python install (not in a virtual environment) the terminal will get focus 100% of the time?

Yes

Do you get the same issues if you use the python.createTerminal command instead

Nope I done around 15 tests and all of them got focus on terminal

Thanks for that screencast I didn’t known about that. 👍
