How to make VS Code focus the Debug sidebar instead of Explorer.md

It took me a little bit to find this setting so I'm writing it down for friends.

After you finish a debug session in VS Code, it may change the sidebar's focus back to the File Explorer.

I don't think it is the default setting, but mine was set that way (and I didn't remember that).

To change it in your settings JSON:

{
  "debug.openExplorerOnEnd": false
}

(I think the reason it took a bit to find is that it doesn't mention sidebar, etc)
