Abilit to pin a window to be always on top (floating) #51

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be nice to have the ability to "float" a window: i.e. the window is removed from the layout, and is always-on-top.

Describe the solution you'd like Please add the ability/hotkey to pin a window to be always on top. Pinned windows should not be a part of the layout.

Describe alternatives you've considered Currently, this can be done by AutoHotkey with Winset, Alwaysontop, , A

Additional context Currently, I can use autohotkey and DeskPins to pin windows to be "always on top". However, Amethyst interferes with the experience by managing these windows --- when a window is pinned/floating, having it managed by Amethyst causes nasty experience (e.g. monocle layout would maximize a floating window, which completely defeats the purpose of floating a window.)
