"Go to line" should set focus to the buffer's pane

The "go to line" feature should not only go to the specified line, but also set the focus to the buffer's pane.
The way it currently is, if your focus is in a different pane, it stays there. So, for example:
Say you compile something, with the output going to the Console plug-in's pane. You scroll through that pane (thus setting the focus to it), looking for reports of syntax errors. It says there's an error on line 37. You hit CTRL-L (i.e. "go to line"), and tell it to go to line 37. The buffer's pane now shifts so that line 37 is displayed. You start typing the correction for the syntax error.
Unfortunately, the focus is still on the Console plug-in's pane, not the buffer's pane. So instead of fixing your syntax error, you're doing random things in the Console plug-in.
