### Description

Opening launcher with Keybind uses correct animation and position, hovering with the cursor does not.

### Expected Behavior

Launcher should open the same way regardless of being toggled with a keybind, or hovered with the cursor.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Enable Frame
2. Set "surface behaviour" to "Connected"
3. Enable "Edge Hover Reveal"

### Error Messages/Logs

_No response_

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in DankMaterialShell with Frame enabled, Surface Behaviour set to Connected, and Edge Hover Reveal enabled. Compare opening the launcher with its keybind against edge-hover activation, using the linked recording to identify the animation and position differences; done means both activation paths behave the same.
