Description

When tauri-plugin-dialog is initialized on macOS, keyboard input becomes inverted. Users must hold Command (⌘) to type normally. Without holding ⌘, keys don't register or trigger incorrect actions.

The bug occurs immediately on app launch - no dialog needs to be opened. Simply calling .plugin(tauri_plugin_dialog::init()) causes the issue.

Reproduction

Minimal reproduction repo: https://github.com/jpoindexter/tauri-dialog-keyboard-bug

git clone https://github.com/jpoindexter/tauri-dialog-keyboard-bug
cd tauri-dialog-keyboard-bug
npm install
npm run tauri dev

Then try typing in the input field.

Expected Behavior

Normal keyboard input

Actual Behavior

• Keys don't register when typed normally
• Must hold ⌘ (Command) key to type
• Modifier key state appears corrupted/inverted

Workaround

Comment out the plugin initialization:

// .plugin(tauri_plugin_dialog::init())

Keyboard works normally without the plugin.

Environment

• OS: macOS 15.x (Darwin 25.3.0)
• Tauri: 2.2+
• tauri-plugin-dialog: 2.2+

Likely Cause

The issue appears to be in how the rfd crate handles NSOpenPanel focus/events on macOS, causing the modifier key state to become corrupted even before any dialog is opened.
