Description

Hi,

I'm trying to assign a shortcut to "a" key, it's working so good.

I also want to assign a shortcut to "ctrl+a" but it doesn't work with the other shortcut. I think it's a conflict problem and I couldn't figure it out.

Ex:

        jwerty.key('a', function () {
            alert('pressed a key");
        });
        jwerty.key('ctrl+a', function () {
            alert('pressed ctrl+a key');
        });

Thanks.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the event handling order in jwerty's internal logic. Check if the plain 'a' handler triggers on 'ctrl+a' as well, causing conflict. Consider modifying the handler to check for modifier keys before executing the plain 'a' callback, or use event.stopPropagation() or event.preventDefault() appropriately.
