如何将焦点返回到 VS 代码宏中的编辑器，将 Python 文本发送到调试控制台？

Question

I have tried to key-bind a macro to send python text to the Debug Console and return focus to the editor in Visual Studio Code. This is what I have tried:

• Installed the vscode-python extension
• Installed the macros extension

settings.json :

{
    "macros": {
        "selectionToReplAndReturnToEditor": [
            "editor.debug.action.selectionToRepl",
            "workbench.action.focusActiveEditorGroup"
        ]
    }
}

keybindings.json :

[
    {
        "key": "alt+f9",
        "command": "workbench.action.focusActiveEditorGroup",
    },
    {
        "key": "alt+f10",
        "command": "workbench.debug.action.focusRepl",
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+enter",
        "command": "macros.selectionToReplAndReturnToEditor",
        "when": "editorTextFocus && editorHasSelection && editorLangId == 'python' && inDebugMode"
    }
]

Now, Ctrl + Enter does execute text in the Debug Console, but does not return focus to the editor. Ctrl + Enter followed by Alt + F9 does that, but of course, I would like to bind a single key. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need some wait time in the macro? How can I achieve that?

@bers answer is a God-send. here is the full solution.

There are a few things that we need to do here:

1. to send stuff to the debugger's integrated REPL, you need the action called editor.debug.action.selectionToRepl .
2. then you need to figure out how to return focus to the active editor. This is where the multi-command extension comes in.
3. Finally, you need to condition your keybinding, so that this only gets activated when debugMode is on.

in keybindings.json

  {
    "key": "cmd+enter",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText",
    "when": "editorHasSelection && editorTextFocus && !inDebugMode"
  },

  {
    "key": "cmd+enter",
    // This needs to be the command you define above.
    "command": "extension.multiCommand.execute",
    "args": { "command": "multiCommand.selectionToReplAndReturnToEditor" },
    "when": "editorTextFocus && editorHasSelection && editorLangId == 'python' && inDebugMode" 
  },

In settings.json

"multiCommand.commands": [ // requires vscode:extension/ryuta46.multi-command
    { // ctrl+enter, editorTextFocus && editorHasSelection && editorLangId == 'python' && inDebugMode
      "command": "multiCommand.selectionToReplAndReturnToEditor",
      "sequence": [
        "editor.debug.action.selectionToRepl",
        "workbench.action.focusActiveEditorGroup",
      ]
    },
  ]

This works, using a different extension:

"multiCommand.commands": [ // requires vscode:extension/ryuta46.multi-command
    { // ctrl+enter, editorTextFocus && editorHasSelection && editorLangId == 'python' && inDebugMode
        "command": "multiCommand.selectionToReplAndReturnToEditor",
        "sequence": [
            "editor.debug.action.selectionToRepl",
            "workbench.action.focusActiveEditorGroup",
        ]
    },
}

I have tried to key-bind a macro to send python text to the Debug Console and return focus to the editor in Visual Studio Code. This is what I have tried:

settings.json :

{
    "macros": {

            "editor.debug.action.selectionToRepl",
            "workbench.action.focusActiveEditorGroup"
        ]
    }
}

keybindings.json :

[
    {
        "key": "alt+f9",
        "command": "workbench.action.focusActiveEditorGroup",
    },
    {
        "key": "alt+f10",
        "command": "workbench.debug.action.focusRepl",
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+enter",
        "command": "macros.selectionToReplAndReturnToEditor",
        "when": "editorTextFocus && editorHasSelection && editorLangId == 'python' && inDebugMode"
    }
]

Now, Ctrl + Enter does execute text in the Debug Console, but does not return focus to the editor. Ctrl + Enter followed by Alt + F9 does that, but of course, I would like to bind a single key. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need some wait time in the macro? How can I achieve that?
