'How to make a second python console active in PyCharm while already debugging?

I have an issue with the way code is executed in PyCharm using the Alt+Shft+E function.

  1. I have code running in debug mode with the debugger console in the Debug tab showing the execution output.
  2. I open a new console from the Python Console tab
  3. Executing code with Alt+Shft+E will send the commands to the debugging console instead on the one I newly opened. How do I get the console in the Python Console tab to be the active one?

I am using Pycharm 2021.1
