Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The active window loses focus when the Espanso's search bar is displayed. This causes issues when trying to use Espanso's output in dialogs, etc. that are closed/hidden when the window loses focus (example: Firefox's Add Bookmark dialog), or in apps where text is reformatted when focus is lost.
Describe the solution you'd like
The active window should remain focused when Espanso's search bar is displayed.
Example: PhraseExpress' phrase menu does not take focus from the active window, allowing text insertion in dialogs and without triggering auto-reformatting in apps.
Additional context
Example of dialog that closed when the active window's focus is lost: Firefox Add Bookmark dialog
