After PR keepassxreboot/keepassxc#1904 is merged, it's possible to use the same method for confirmation dialogs.

Just to clarify this old ticket: AFAIK it's not possible to bring just a popup to the front with macOS. You'll have to set the main window active when the popup is on the top as a workaround.

[droidmonkey]

That's correct, macos requires the owning window to be in focus to show a modal dialog.

Nothing we can do there.
