Ability to Reposition System Notifications

While using the markup tools, like so:

[
    {
        "name": "system.repeat-action",
        "arguments": {
            "action": [
                {
                    "name": "sketching.capture-geometry",
                    "arguments": {
                        "geometryType": "point"
                    }
                },
                "map.add-markup"
            ]
        }
    }
]

If the user goes to select ‘Edit Markup’ before hitting Esc it causes an error and overlaps the Repeat Action tool is running. Use the Esc key to stop. notification.

Requested Improvement:
Please add the ability to reposition system notifications (e.g., “Repeat Action”) so they don’t conflict with other messages on the interface. I know you can reposition notification's that get triggered by Run Command via workflows, I'd just like this for the system notifications as well.

Alternatively, if clicking Edit Markup while in a repeat action simply exited the repeat action that would solve this too.

Thank-you for considering this improvement.

  You could probably achieve this with a workflow and the “Inject CSS” activity - you can change almost anything about the UI this way.

  True! but it runs the risk of breaking in future VSW versions
