Description
I find the vscode DevTools lacking some functionality at the moment (see #445 and #446). It would be handy to be able quickly switch to browser to continue there. It can be one way only, from vscode to browser). Consider using F12 key for this action.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issues #445 and #446 and tracing how the VS Code DevTools extension currently connects to Microsoft Edge. Define the one-way switch from VS Code to the browser, including whether F12 is the shortcut, then verify that the browser opens or receives focus as intended.
