We shouldnt execute dms ipc from within DMS itself, should use PopoutService, e.g. PopoutService.toggleDankLauncherV2()

return;
case "close-window":
const active = ToplevelManager.activeToplevel;
if (active && typeof active.close === "function")
active.close();

Quickshell.execDetached(["dms", "ipc", "call", "settings", "toggle"]);
