Description

In the Keybase menu on MacOS is the standard hide application item Hide Keybase item with the hotkey ⌘H. Selecting this item in Keybase 5.1.1-20191211223249+15bbb94c23, on MacOS 10.14.6, shifts focus away from Keybase but doesn't hide it. The window stays front and centre, while focus shifts to the next application in the stack.
