Description

TanStack Hotkeys version

v0.9.1

Framework/Library version

next v16.1.6

Describe the bug and the steps to reproduce it

When a single-key hotkey (e.g. C) and a sequence starting with a different key but ending with that same key (e.g. GC) are both registered, pressing the sequence fires both the sequence callback and the single-key hotkey callback.

To Reproduce

// Register a single-key hotkey
useHotkey("C", () => {
    console.log("C hotkey fired");
});

// Register a sequence that ends with the same key
useHotkeySequence(["G", "C"], () => {
    console.log("G → C sequence fired");
});

// now press G, then press C
// notice that both log fired

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior with the useHotkey("C") and useHotkeySequence(["G", "C"]) registrations described in the issue. Trace how the two hooks handle the second keypress during an active sequence, then verify that pressing G followed by C fires only the sequence callback while standalone C still fires its hotkey callback.
