Description

There is currently no way, to my knowledge, to set a default screen position that's not the bottom middle of the screen. I mainly use o
OverKeys on my laptop, so having the keyboard so low hurts my neck. I move it up every time I launch the application, but I wish I could just set it so its always near the top.

For implementation, I suggest either adding x,y sliders or a drop down of positions (top left, top middle, bottom right, etc), or a "set position as default" action in the applet menu (under reset position or something) and as a hotkey, if needed.

Thank you! If I have some time, ill see if can implement it myself and submit it as a PR.

Research direction

Start by locating the Flutter code that handles the keyboard overlay's current position and the applet menu's reset-position action. Decide which proposed default-position control fits the existing UI, then verify that the chosen position is retained after restarting OverKeys and remains usable near the top of the screen.
