Add --hide flag to hide any currently visible scan popups.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
On KDE 6 on Wayland, I can currently map goldendict $(wl-paste -n -p) to a global keyboard shortcut and that makes the scanner work again, but when I press esc to close the popup, that escape key is also sent to whatever application is below the scan popup. Basically, it feels impossible to close the scan popup without causing other sideeffects on another application.

Additionally, if I type something after seemingly focusing the search box in the scan popup, the text actually gets typed in the application below the scan popup.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a goldendict --hide or similar that can be mapped to another global keyboard shortcut, that'd just hide any currently open scan popup.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried goldendict --reset-window-state but that just opens the main window.

what you're describing is a very simple problem: the scanner is not getting focus.
and this might be a wayland issue or using a hacky approach like the one that you've mentioned (wl-paste) isn't reliable.

please consider just using the casual functions for that, and use the program like it was intended to.
whenever you hove the mouse over a word/phrase, it should send to the scanpopup, no need to call it by a external keybinding or script

I'm using that workaround because regular hover, or on selection change, or even the keybindings in goldendict to lookup a selection aren't working since KDE 6.0. I felt that would definitely be much more painful to debug.
