What's Wrong?

When running the commands claude-vscode.focus and claude-vscode.sidebar.open, the cursor does not focus on the new message field forcing the user to either manually click into the message field or tab/shift+tab multiple times to get it.

This behavior exists in the previous version

What Should Happen?

Text input should automatically be focused and if text is selected in the editor an @ attribute like @example/hello-world.ts#1-2 should be added.
