Toggle left dock without changing focus

[stiang]

I have remapped toggling the left dock to ctrl-t, which works as expected, but when I toggle the dock to on, the dock gets focus and any caret navigation keys I press move the focus marker inside the dock instead of the caret in the editor.

This is not what I want, most of the time. I will typically open the dock to see where I am in the file structure and/or what files exist, not to "do stuff" there.

In VS Code I get the behaviour I prefer. I realise both behaviours are completely valid, but I wish there was a way to choose the behaviour I want.

I don’t suppose there is a way? I have done some searching and testing with no luck so far.
