@slavpetroff you can add another conditional in the
whenvalue to not target the terminal. I think theeditorTextFocusshould cover that + the surrounding UI elements because the editor is just the code panel. If that still doesn't work, there must be a terminal-specificwhencondition. Search for it and see if that works. Let me know when you figure it out.
