Description

monaco-editor version: 0.15.6 Browser: chrome OS: linux

I use this.editor.getAction('editor.action.formatDocument').run() to format a document. This works, but it also set's the focus to the the editor. Is that intended behaviour? Is there a way to disable the change of focus?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the source code of the formatDocument action in monaco editor to understand where focus is set, and explore if there is an option to disable focus or a workaround using a custom action.
