I recently installed vs code and the only problem that I have with it is the fact that whenever I run a code, the typing focus doesn't move to the terminal, so I have to do it manually, by using the mouse. Is there any way to make it switch automatically after running a program? I'm new to vs so don't expect me to understand complex stuff or workarounds. Thanks in advance!
 
Just use a keyboard. Ctrl+` switches to terminal, Ctrl+1 to focus on code window.

Won't post a full solution cause I'm at work right now, but I'll point you in the right direction.
Alternatively, try adding a command to custom tasks.
code.visualstudio.com

Integrate with External Tools via Tasks

Expand your development workflow with task integration in Visual Studio Code.
code.visualstudio.com code.visualstudio.com

Ultimately what you need is a build task which will execute
Code: 
command: "workbench.action.terminal.focus"

Ok, I'll try to get it working myself but if, I'll be sure to come back to the thread
