Render the Settings window as an actual window.

Dupe Check

• [X] I have searched Warp feature requests and there are no duplicates

Describe the solution you'd like?

Please render the Settings pseudo-window as an actual window that I can resize and move.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I do a lot of scrolling when trying to locate preferences due to its arbitrarily limited size (especially its length - width isn't of as much concern due to my 16:9 display).

Thanks for this feature request! It could be interesting to render a window or maybe a tab/pane for the settings instead of the modal.

@dannyneira I intended to start a new issue/discussion but I think the following may fit here as it may be directly related. I was wondering why Warp keeps FDs open for a hefty bunch of fonts and other weird endpoints (see mac Activity Monitor window dump)

• Purely speculative, but maybe all the handles remain open because Settings(->Appearance) remains active due to how it's built?
• I've noticed Warp using more CPU (consistently c.a. 12-14%) when it's in fullscreen mode

@mdanlowski, that does appear tangentially related, but it would be better fit as a https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/discussions. I wanted to suggest that you create one citing your comment here, but I don't appear to create a discussion, and I suppose you can't either?
