**Category:** Requests and ideas

When switching back to the window (alt+tab), it would be a great QOL feature if it autofocused the textbox that was focused previously

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior on the /chat path in the GitHub Copilot app on Windows 10, switching away with Alt+Tab and returning. Trace the chat textbox focus handling; done means the textbox that was focused before switching away is automatically focused again when the window returns.
