Description
It's very annoying to be using a full screen application like a game when the Keybase update window grabs focus and minimizes everything.
I believe it's very bad UX to grab focus like that. I don't think updating Keybase is such a critical operation that it NEEDS to grab focus regardless of computer activity.
It's much more preferable to just pop up a notification and let the user update when ready.
This problem is exacerbated because you can't cancel the process. Only snooze it, which just delays the problem for a few minutes.
