Konsole locks input not able to search in rofi / rofi-rbw

Issue Description

Since the migration to mocca and wayland I noticed the following behaviour.
When using rofi-rbw with the Konsole open, the input I do on my keyboard is sent to Konsole instead of rofi-rbw.
So I can’t search my credentials or input them.
Also the copy credentials to clipboard is not working.

What is rofi-rbw? A rofi frontend for Bitwarden/Vaultwarden.
Why do I need this? The Bitwarden/Vaultwarden Desktop Client is meh.
I want to search and enter my credentials as fast as possible.
The feature that rofi-rbw can send the password as keystrokes with ydotool is pure heaven when you have to input a 64+ size passwords into a KVM web console of e.g. Hetzner, DigitalOcean etc.
