Description

Dupe Check
Describe the solution you'd like?

This has been asked before and it really makes sense, add the abillity to disable blocks.
They serve no purpose other than stealing the focus from the command input when switching windows.

Expected results: Click anywhere in a pane to active command input.
Actual results: If a pane I clicked on is already active a block is selected instead.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It's very frustrating to be switching windows or simply clicking warp and not having the cursor on the command input.

Research direction

Start by tracing how clicking a pane selects blocks and how focus returns to the command input. Use the issue's expected and actual results to define the behavior: clicking anywhere in a pane should activate the command input without selecting a block when block selection is disabled.
