Answer by marcdahan for How to switch the cursor between terminal and code in VSCode?

answer rolling for April 2021

to focus to your differents panel of VSCode you have to edit your "workbench" commands :

1. CTRL+K+CTRL+S otherwise Files> Preferences> Keyboard Shortcut

   look for this command

   workbench.action.terminal.focus

   and then add your prefered keybinding for this command

2. to focus to your code you have to set the following command

   workbench.action.focusActiveEditorGroup

3. to focus into the file explorer of vscode you have to set the following command

   workbench.files.focusFilesExplorer

and no more need to search to the mouse or to quit your keyboard for the touchpad

That's all folks ! Hope you will spend less energy on your touchpad ... !
