alacritty: Cannot create a new window on macOS

Hello, I tried to open a new window by following the instructions in the docs/features.md file, using both the alacritty msg create-window command and the keystroke, but it seems that it just “reboots” the current one instead

 - { key: N, mods: Command, action: CreateNewWindow }

Interesting, I suppose macOS was just in some weird in-between state where it thought it created tabs but didn’t show them. Considering you’re the only one ever running into this issue (to my knowledge) I’ll just assume your system was temporarily haunted and the fix seems easy enough.
