Description
Explorer: Focus on Quarto View allows screen reader users to accessibly jump and review Quarto assist view.
I have assigned the following keybinding
[
{
"key": "ctrl+f1",
"command": "quarto-assist.focus",
"when": "editorTextFocus"
}
]
This works nicely in *.qmd file and I can press Ctrl+F1 on any R/Python command to review real-time Quarto assist view.
The current problem is that I cannot leave this Quarto assist view with ESC key to retain my original editing cursor position. My workaround is pressing Ctrl+1 to explicitly focus in my editor 1 area.
It would be nicer if we could make this work.

Research direction
Start by tracing the quarto-assist.focus command and the Quarto assist view behavior. Check how focus is transferred from the editor and how Escape is handled; done means Escape returns focus to the original editing cursor position in a .qmd file after the assist view is focused.
