Bug Description
The Kupfer window has 2-3 parts/boxes depending of selected plugin. I don't know how to call these parts.
Well, when I press the key combination to "show with selection", kupfer appears and focuses the first part (where the selected text is) instead of go directly to second part (where I should select the plugin).
In the first part, in this case, it hasn't any sense to focus because it's filled with text selected.

You have a good point. I call these 2-3 things in kupfer panes. Subject pane, Action pane and Indirect Object pane. (but in the code this is not consistent, we have much worse variable names there. We use SourcePane, ActionPane, ObjectPane I think) :-)
Show with selection is the same thing as "Select in Kupfer", which again is the same thing as the "Action Result" case.
So this appears when we have 'Action Result' / Show with Selection, and also File → Open with Kupfer
We also switch to the first pane when we get a new source there (Folder) → Search Contents or also from an action like Translate.
I think we have some good consistency today, that we always highlight the pane when something changes in it, that's also good so that the user follows what happens in Kupfer. Changing this like your request would be very convenient, we just have to stay consistent with it..
