Description
When I use the RStudio keymap shortcut ctrl+2 to focus the console, it does not scroll down to the input line. I was often confused if the console was focused or if I had not pressed the keys down properly. It does scroll to the bottom once I start typing.
RStudio scrolls down.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by using the RStudio keymap shortcut Ctrl+2 while the console is scrolled above the input line, then inspect the console focus and scrolling entry point. Done means focusing the console immediately scrolls to the input line, matching the behavior shown for RStudio, without requiring typing.
