I have sr-sppedbar always turned on, but whenever I start, I have to manually click the code window to switch the cursor from speedbar to the codes. How do I start emacs with cursor in the main window instead of sr-speedbar?

Update: It works after adding (other-window 1) to start hook in init.el.

    Emacs runs through startup.el which is hard-coded into the executable, and people often have desktop restore features, such as desktop.el activated. Selecting the right window/buffer at start-up is always a trick, and this is why I created my own startup.el and build Emacs from source. The easiest thing to do will be to place a line of code at the bottom of your .emacs file or add a function to the emacs-startup-hook that runs last in time. Essentially, you want to use (select-window WINDOW) or simply (other-window COUNT). – lawlist Sep 27 '16 at 15:19

    See also the function get-buffer-window to help obtain the value for the first argument in select-window. Alternatively, you could modify speedbar.el and sr-speedbar.el. – lawlist Sep 27 '16 at 15:21
