Update pop-up grabs keyboard input after showing a working terminal (macos)

[steef435]

I opened ghostty, saw the shell prompt, and got to work. When I pressed enter to run a command, I saw a flash of a pop-up window which probably consumed the enter as an "accept". I think it was an update prompt because an update was downloaded afterward.

I think it would be better if ghostty would only show keyboard-grabbing modals in response to user input or before showing a working terminal. The pop-up for issues with the config file already works this way, it seems.

(I get that it's not feasible to wait for network request to show the terminal, but then maybe the update message could be a notification or a banner that does not grab keyboard input, instead of a modal?)

PS. Thank you for the excellent terminal!

This is upstream in Sparkle. If there is a way for us to customize this I'd be happy to but I want to note this is a 3rd party framework (https://sparkle-project.org).

Thank you! It looks like Sparkle supports overriding the notification handler (https://sparkle-project.org/documentation/gentle-reminders/), but I have not looked into it much. Disabling the automatic updating works well enough for me for now.
