Description

I think that instead of opening on the taskbar, the keybase client should open up exclusively into the menubar. I personally don't like cluttering my taskbar with lots of applications.

I may be completely missing the feature to disable it, but as of now, it seems as if that doesn't exist.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the macOS client code that controls the application window and menubar behavior, then check how the client currently appears on launch. Done means the client can open exclusively in the menubar, with its existing behavior preserved when that option is not selected.
