There is no hard command to focus the chat view from command palette. There exists Amazon Q: Focus on Chat View, but if the user moves the chat it can change names, e.g. Terminal: Focus on Chat View, which is confusing.
CoPilot also has this issue, which is why they have the Chat: Open Chat command.

Note: This command will work whether the user is logged in or not, for ease of use. If they are not logged in then it will open the login window.


  • Treat all work as PUBLIC. Private feature/x branches will not be squash-merged at release time.
  • Your code changes must meet the guidelines in CONTRIBUTING.md.
