Disable switching to Canvas after edit? at DVinfo.net

Hello, I am kind of new to FCP. There is one thing that bugs me.

After every edit I make from Source window (In, Out and Insert/Overwrite) FCP switches to Timeline window. If I want to continue adding clips from current footage, I must manually switch back to Source window.

In Premiere, Source panel stays focused until I switch to somewhere else. I think that is faster, for my workflow anyway. I really want to edit from keyboard as much as possible.

So the question is - is there a way to make FCP not switch panels after edits? Thanks!
