Describe the bug

Sometimes the focus do not work when opening warp using global hot keys on windows.

To reproduce

Set global hot key config for windows (can be any key)
Use te hot key to open the warp terminal and close.
Start using another app, like your browser.
Try to open the warp terminal using the hot key again. => the terminal opens, however the focus keeps on the other app.

Expected behavior

I think it would be nice to when opening the warp terminal the focus moves to it.
