Issue Description

This is a pretty minor but very annoying issue. When I press F5 to start debugging the focus seems to shift to the integrated console which seems to capture all key presses so if the script is stopped on a breakpoint I have to click into the code window to be able to step through the code. As I said very minor but really annoying issue.

FWIW this used to bug me too because the console ate F10/F11 so stepping stopped working for me until I put the focus back in editor. That issue is now fixed in VSCode 1.20. The terminal now passes the common debug F keys through to the debugger.

F8 also does this, but have you tried putting this in your user settings? Works for me! "powershell.integratedConsole.focusConsoleOnExecute": false
