Switching focus between editor and terminal in Kate

When working in Unix with various programming languages I often use Kate as my primary editor. It has a really nice function of being able to open a built-in terminal window which is quite useful.

The problem is that switching back and forth to the terminal view using a mouse is quite a pain and I can't find any shortcuts for this. The only shortcut I could find is for closing the entire terminal (not just changing the focus). This is a bit annoying as it causes the text in the terminal window to get truncated (I think it's a known Kate bug).

Does anyone know a better shortcut?

How do I open terminal in Kate Windows?

The default location in the Kate window is at the bottom, below the editing area. You can configure the Konsole using its right mouse button menu, for more information, see the Konsole manual. The built-in terminal emulator is provided by the Terminal Tool View plugin.

There's a "Focus Terminal" shortcut in the "Configure shortcuts"

There you can set it up. F4 didn't work by default in my case and Shift+Tab worked only in one direction.
