When a breakpoint is hit in Visual Studio, it steals the focus from whatever other application the programmer is viewing/typing into at that moment. This can be very irritating since VS grabs any keyboard input the programmer was typing into the other application at that moment and takes that input as its own.
What are the tricks you folks use to prevent this focus steal?
(I face this on Visual C++ 2008 and 2010. I am guessing it is a problem for Visual Studio in general and for all recent versions.)

This problem occurs because ASP.NET debugging isn't enabled on the application.
To Disable All Breakpoints You can disable all breakpoints in one of the following ways: On the Debug menu, click Disable All Breakpoints. On the toolbar of the Breakpoints window, click the Disable All Breakpoints button.
Right-click the breakpoint symbol and select Conditions (or press Alt + F9, C). Or hover over the breakpoint symbol, select the Settings icon, and then select Conditions in the Breakpoint Settings window.
To end a debugging session in Microsoft Visual Studio, from the Debug menu, choose Stop Debugging.
This is finally fixed in VS2019. Go to Tools->Options->Debugging->General, down at the bottom is "Bring Visual Studio to the foreground when breaking in the debugger."
Just de-select it and you will no longer be interrupted while multitasking.
