Change focus from browser to editor window

mag

I want to make a workflow that pastes the selected text from the currently open browser window into the active editor window and then changes the focus from the browser to the editor. The pasting to the end of the current document works fine, but I have been unable to figure out how to return the focus to the editor window from the browser window.
Any suggestions?

You can do this via Python:

import console
console.hide_output()

That is perfect, thanks for the help.

As a newcomer to Editorial, I was under the impression that invoking python was a "power user" feature and I had expected to find a built in action with this functionality. To assist other newcomers, perhaps it would be helpful to mention in the documentation that some obvious functions may require simple python scripting.

I am really impressed with this app!

@mag unless you're really averse to programming do at least dip your toe in the Python water: I think you'll like it. :-)
