Visual Studio Code – How to switch focus from find box back to editor?

What is the keyboard shortcut to switch back to the editor from the find box opened by ctrl-f ?

I have searched the internet for various variations on the above, but all I got were answers to press ctrl-`
and ctrl-tab twice which seems sub optimal and kind of a hack.

And pressing esc closes the find box which is what I definitely do not want.

    You can press Ctrl+Down, which runs the command scrollLineDown and leaves the find box. I assume the equivalent on Mac is Cmd+Down.

    Add a keybinding to focus the active editor group, which is what you want to do.

    Find this command in the Keyboard Shortcuts editor, hover over it and click the + sign to its left and enter your desired keyboard shortcut into the dialog box.

    View: Focus Active Editor Group
