#84 'notion ui' status message window steals key events = annoying

[Mathias Steiger]

This has annoyed me quite a lot since years, although it is a minor thing:

1. Open "Run:" query with F3 or something - what I mean is: mod_query.query_lua(_)
2. Type command like "killall asdfdfdsfds"
3. A message window with Error: no process found will persist until you press ESC and it will block your keyboard inputs

So sometimes on my 1080x1920 screens, where it is especially difficult to notice things at the bottom, I will keep pressing F3 or try to switch vdesktops or type into a window and think the computer froze or something. When you open certain drop down menus in programs then it can also happen that Notion will ignore keyboard events and I might not see the status window at the bottom immediately and check my browser for dropdown menus to unblock the keyboard ... it is extremely rare and mostly you face this problem when overworked and tired, but still I think I made it pretty obvious how it is overall undesireable and counter-intuitive.

So, I suggest that it should be imprelented that status messages and output-only ui windows at the bottom will not block any keyboard events and maybe should even disappear by themself if the 'notion ui' is used again (so you press F3 again or F12 for "Main Menu:" and it will behave as if the window at the bottom needs to be automatically replaced for the next one to be drawn in its place). This would also lead to more easy and fluent usage of the 'notion ui' (or whatever you call it).
