Place cursor in console without having to click there [message #1859485]

Is anyone else annoyed at having to click in the console before being able to type input?

The cursor stays in the source code at first, and if you don't click in the console before typing the input, what is typed ends up in the source code. Doh!

Is there code that will place the cursor in the console when the program is run so that one doesn't have to click there before entering the input?

Thank you for your help.

You can use the shortcut Alt + Shift + Q, C to quickly switch focus to the console.
