Research direction
Start in Settings → Features → Global hotkey and reproduce the Dedicated hotkey window behavior with Active Screen selected while focus is on a non-main display. Confirm that the window opens on the focused screen rather than the main screen, and verify the behavior on macOS with multiple screens.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Describe the bug
The "Active Screen" settings option under the Global hotkey window does NOT open the hotkey window in the currently active (focused) window but in the main screen.
Unfortunately, this bug is why I'm avoiding switching to Warp entirely.
To reproduce
Go to settings -> features -> Global hotkey.
Choose "Dedicated hotkey window", define a keyboard binding, and set "Active Screen".
Focus on a screen other than the main one, and press the hotkey keyboard sequence defined above.
The hotkey window still opens on the main screen.
Expected behavior
The hotkey window should be open in the currently active/focused screnn.screen
