Research direction
Investigate how hotkeys js handles window blur/focus events. The issue likely stems from missing re initialization after alt+tab or ctrl+tab, causing the library to stop listening. Check the source code for event listeners attached to window object, particularly 'blur' and 'focus' events. Review comments in the issue for any debugging insights.
