Add a Show/Hide option to the Hotkey Window positioning options

Describe the solution you'd like?
Currently there are only options to pin a separate window to one side of the window. It would be cool to have an option of Show/Hide that simple toggles the warp app between shown and hidden and not have to pin a new window. This is how I used Hyper. I would toggle the app between shown and hidden with a global hotkey.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Nothing is broken, it's just the one thing I miss from Hyper.

@zpthree So the request is the Global Hotkey Window keybinding should focus Warp on whatever window / screen is in focus?
@elviskahoro Not necessarily whatever screen is in focus. It would just show/hide the warp window wherever it is. So like if I have the warp app open a certain monitor (not in quake mode), I could use the global hotkey to show/hide it with no repositioning. An example of an apps that have this functionality are Todoist, Numi, and Hyper terminal.
I'd also like this feature. If I have VS Code focused for example, it'd be nice to just hit my shortcut keys (I used to use Option+Space with iTerm) and be able to start writing into my existing Warp window on whichever monitor it currently resides, then hit my shortcuts again when I want the focus to swap back. The current quake thing feels like it's just a temporary window in its own context, when I want to switch to/from my persistent terminal window with all its long-running apps.
I also used this with iterm2. I would configure my hotkey window to float on the desktop (not pinned) and the hotkey would bring it to the front when pressed.
Closing this issue since the feature was shipped. See #2585 for how to enable.
