OS notification for SSH access requests

Hey!
To keep a bit of security by not letting everything access all the SSH keys of our vault AND stay out of the way of the user, we could display a notification with actions buttons (Windows, MacOS, KDE supports it, maybe GNOME too??). It would be essentially the same content of the actual in-app popup, but then it will be a bit more integrated with the OS.

When I work on my laptop, I’m in the CLI with an IDE open, a browser, Spotify, etc… This takes up a lot of “head“ space and Bitwarden is always running in the background. By just clicking on the button on the notification, it doesn’t bring up the app, and lets Bitwarden stay out of the way of the user.

What do you think about this?

If Bitwarden could consistently pop to the front when needing to authorise a ssh key we would be winning. This is on windows. I like the idea of a notification area pop-up and is more in line with how a normal app would work.
