IDEA-238863: Allow keeping app open after WelcomeScreen is closed
Details https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-238863
It would be nice to move the focus to "Search projects" field but it took me too much time already to figure out how to get this far :)
Also, it would be nice to implement https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-238865 as well for best experience.
I guess there should be something like FakeWelcomeFrame that still captures keyboard events. If it is hidden then keyboard events are not captured anymore. This would also help with https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-238865. Currently if I add an if statement CloseProjectWindowHelper to avoid WelcomeFrame.showIfNoProjectOpened() call then the IdeMenuBar of the project is still visible (the items are displayed but they are not functional).
