System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Platform-specific behaviors and prior regressions in OpenWhisper's Tauri shell; READ before touching input handling (global hotkeys, keyboard hooks), focus management, audio capture, text injection, or any code that crosses the Rust/WebView boundary differently between Windows and macOS. Each entry below was earned by a real bug — not speculation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Document platform quirks and proven fixes to prevent regressions when modifying low-level UI and input handling.
  • Provide developer guidance for safe cross-platform changes across Windows and macOS, especially around hotkeys, drag regions, and focus behavior.
  • Serve as a reference for engineers to apply platform-specific patches and maintain a stable OpenWhisper UX.

Quick Start

Review the documented platform gotchas and apply the recommended fixes in the codebase before modifying input handling or cross-boundary interactions.
