Description
I'm using devtools in VSCode and sometimes it's more convenient to just open it in a new window (instead of being docked in the same window). Unfortunately, with the automatic forced focus ON, the window focus is always switching back from the dev tools window to the code window.
This feature is super convenient btw, I just wish sometimes I could turn it off. Is that possible atm?
Thanks in advance

Research direction
Start by tracing the automatic forced-focus behavior in the VSCode DevTools integration; the issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. The change would be complete when users can disable forced focus for a separately opened DevTools window while the current default behavior remains available.
