Can launch command support Dialog/Toast windows?

[salmankhilji]

How difficult would it be for kitty to support a new dialog/toast window type in the launch command?

These will be modal windows closely resembling windows of type overlay or overlay-main with user-defined margins on all 4 sides.

We can launch a new overlay window with margins as top=bottom=height/4 and left=right=width/4 to create a dialog box centered on the active window. Or perhaps with margins as top=height*3/4 and left,=right=bottom=0 to produce an Android toast like window at the bottom.

Primary use-case is user input, especially with the ask kitten. Working with kitty OS windows started mostly as full-screen, I personally find the create_marker overlay windows unnecessarily large on my 27" monitor.

If it is something you would like to do, here are a few items that would be icing on the cake:

1. Ability to darken the main window which has a non-full screen dialog/toast on top
2. Ability to specify slide in/out transitions
3. Ability to specify corner radius

Not something I care about. Patches welcome.
