VimR window opens but does not accept any keyboard input (macOS 15.5, Neovim 0.11.3)

[ikuwow]

Describe the bug

VimR opens a window successfully, but it does not accept any keyboard input. Pressing keys such as : or i has no effect. Mouse interactions like moving the cursor or selecting text work, but mouse clicks (e.g., switching modes or menus) are also unresponsive.

Even when I open a file directly (e.g., vimr file.txt), the behavior is the same — the buffer is visible, but no input is accepted.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install VimR (0.56.1) on macOS 15.5
2. Launch VimR via Finder or CLI (with or without --log-level debug)
3. Try pressing any key such as : or i
4. Observe that nothing happens

Expected behavior

VimR should respond to keyboard input as expected, allowing normal Neovim editing behavior.

Environment

• VimR version: 0.56.1, build 20250725.172504
• Neovim version: NVIM v0.11.3 (LuaJIT 2.1.1753364724)
• macOS version: 15.5 (Sonoma)

Additional context

• Neovim works normally in the terminal (tested with Ghostty).
• Tried enabling Input Monitoring in macOS settings — no change.
• Tried launching with --log-level debug — VimR process starts, but no window appears and no logs are printed.
• ~/.config/nvim/init.vim works fine in terminal Neovim.
• Tried setting the custom binary path in VimR’s Advanced settings — no change.
• No suspicious crash logs in Console.

Please let me know if I can help debug further.

Same behavior here; the binary vimr is essentially unusable. Opening the app itself seems fine until you close all the windows and it goes into a weird state of not exiting but does not accept any input (the menu bar items just turn grey)

EDIT: found a temporary fix: disable "quit when last window closing" in settings, set it to hide or something, and everything seems to work fine again.

This seems to be the same issue as #1120 and #1122.

This problem exists in Vimr 0.57.3 with Tahoe 26.0.1.
