Floating menu in app to be visible even if the app is not active

Configuration Help & General Discussion

Is there a way to configure floating menu to be visible even if the app is not the active one, if the menu is created under that specific app, e.g.:

I have this floating menu zoom_mode_inside which is currently only visible if WezTerm is active. However since I have 2 monitors, I switch between them (actually switch between 2 apps which are placed on different monitors) quite often, and upon changing the active app the menu is being hidden, but actually WezTerm is still visible on one of the monitors, so I want the menu to be shown even if the WezTerm is not the active app. Hope this makes sense.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but isn't that what a menu configured for “all apps” does?

Let me add some more details:

  1. Floating menu is being activated by a key sequence (configured under WezTerm)

  2. Floating menu's position on screen is:

    So even if I move the floating menu under For All Apps, once I activate another app, the floating menu will be shown on the bottom left corner of this app

  3. I would like the menu to be bond to WezTerm, I don't want this menu to be shown anywhere else, except in WezTerm even if the app is not active.

If I'm missing something let me know how can achieve this.

Thank you.

I think this is currently not possible but I have thought about a "Specific App's Window" option in the past. (Which would basically show the menu once a window of a specific app is focused, but then just keep it open when focusing different apps and only close it if that app is quit or doesn't have windows left)

I haven't thought about all edge cases for this yet. Unfortunately macOS doesn't allow to modify layer of a window in a way that would allow me to keep it always at the same window level as a specific other window, but maybe that is not necessary.

Thanks Andreas!
