Highlight code for content selected when switching to Code Editor

[SJNBham]

It would be great to have the Code Editor highlight and jump to the section of HTML when the user selects content in the Visual Editor and then switches to the Code Editor view. The selection could be made by left-clicking and dragging in the Visual Editor to highlight specific text. It would be even better if you could left-click on one or more blocks and then have those highlighted in code view as well. But being able to select text visually and then switch to the section of code where that text appears would a great start. It would save time scrolling or starting an on-page find operation using the browser search function. This would be useful when trying to troubleshoot content issues.

Here's how this might look with existing text highlights. This option drops the focus into the Code Editor immediately though. I'm not sure how this works with accessibility. Currently, after selecting "Code Editor", the focus remains in the Options dropdown.

This is something I've also been wondering about for myself, I tested it again now and for me the highlighting/focus simply does not persist for me at all, whether I start from the visual editor to code, or whether I highlight one or more entire blocks in code and switch to visual.

Specs:
Firefox v89.0.2
Mac OS 11.4
WP v5.7.2
Gutenberg v11.0.0

Video from today (sorry for potato quality, you can just about see the focus not persisting):
