macOS apps match Cmd+V against the layout-translated character via NSMenu
key equivalents, so posting kVK_ANSI_V (= 9, the QWERTY V position) on
Dvorak produces Cmd+. and never triggers Paste. New keyboard_layout
module resolves the active layout's V keycode via
TISCopyCurrentKeyboardLayoutInputSource + UCKeyTranslate, caches it in an
AtomicU16, and refreshes on kTISNotifySelectedKeyboardInputSourceChanged.
All TIS calls run on the main thread (init from Tauri setup; observer
callback delivered to the main runloop); synthetic_keys::send_paste
reads the cached value once per paste. Falls back to kVK_ANSI_V when
resolution fails or the active input source carries no Unicode key
layout data.
Windows is intentionally left on hardcoded VK_V — SendInput delivers
WM_KEYDOWN with wParam = VK_V to the target regardless of the active
layout, which is why `Send "^v"` works for AutoHotkey on Dvorak Windows.
