Bug Description
Claude Code keeps overriding "Move focus to the editor with Escape" option.
Steps to Reproduce
- Tick "Move focus to the editor with Escape" in the PyCharm Settings > Tools > Terminal
- Launch Claude Code
Expected Behavior
"Move focus to the editor with Escape" is kept ticked
Actual Behavior
"Move focus to the editor with Escape" becomes unticked.
Additional Context
It may be an intended behavior, but this so annoys the users like me who heavily use the Escape key to move the focus to the editor, without touching the mouse.

The Claude Code plugin no longer messes around with IDE settings. There is another bug, though. I close this issue since the bug in question is resolved anyway.
