How come I have to keep clicking the mouse to type in the console area of workspaces? The cursor is blinking however there is not a response to input until I click the mouse.

Workspaces has 3 areas to it (The left panel with the file tree; the code editor area; and the console area). The cursor will always blink in the console no matter what, but if the console is not the active area, then you cannot type there. By clicking in there, you make it active and can now type. Once you click out of there, to write some code for example, you've now make the code editor the active area, so anything typed will be in there, and you'd have to click back inside of the console to make it active again to type.
Hope that helps! :)
