Description

### Checks

- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue
- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again

### Operating system

macOS 15.3 (24D60)

### Expected behaviour

The autocomplete feature should work as intended, displaying the autocomplete context menu with suggestions based on the current input.

### Actual behaviour

The autocomplete feature stops working, and the autocomplete context menu is not displayed. This issue seems to be related to how window focus is managed in Quake mode.

### Steps to reproduce

- Open iTerm2
- Configure a profile with the settings shown in the attached screenshots
- Ensure Quake mode is enabled
- Try to use the autocomplete feature of Fig/Q
- Quit iTerm2
- Open iTerm2 by pressing ⌘I
- Type `cd ` (no directories are displayed)
