bug: hotkeysEnabled state is set but never checked before executing hotkeys #425

Description

Describe the bug
The hotkeysEnabled state in the tasks component is set via mouse enter/leave handlers but is never actually checked before executing hotkey actions, it means hotkeys work globally on the page regardless of mouse position.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to http://localhost:5173/home
  2. Hover your mouse outside the task table
  3. Press f key
  4. See that the search input still gets focused
  5. Press r key
  6. See that sync still triggers

Expected behavior

  • Hotkeys (f, p, ArrowUp, ArrowDown, Enter, etc.) should only work when the mouse is hovering over the task table, when mouse leaves the task table, hotkeys should be disabled

Root cause

  • hotkeysEnabled state is defined and set via onMouseEnter/onMouseLeave but the manual useEffect keyboard handler and all useHotkeys calls does not check hotkeysEnabled before executing

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: macOS
  • Browser: Chrome
  • Version: Latest
