2. observe cursor still in command line, although new document is open

Actual Results:  
Cursor is still on the command line.

Robert,

Good point. We will have to think about this. As you say, in some ways normally people expect to stay in command lines. I have gotten used to jumping focus with Ctrl-J, so I would do:

newfile
ctrl-j

Will have to play with this.. maybe make it a setting?

Attachment: Removes focus from command, adds focus to editor.

The two lines are stolen from commandline.js
cl.commandline.onkeydown {
if (e.keyCode == Key.J && e.ctrlKey)
...
}

How do other command line tools work?  I don't use them since I use TextMate, if emacs and vi focus on the editor, then maybe the default should do that too?  But if they don't please ignore this ;)  Thanks!  

After learning about the Ctrl+J thing, it does feel a little strange with the patch applied to have it auto focus.

This is a mass migration from Mozilla Labs :: Bespin to Bespin :: General.

This bug likely still needs to be triaged and categorized.
