@MeisnerDan

Description

@MeisnerDan

Implement keyboard shortcuts to accelerate workflow. Users should be able to create a new task with Cmd+N (Mac) / Ctrl+N (Linux/Windows), focus the task search with Cmd+K / Ctrl+K, and save/submit forms with Cmd+Enter / Ctrl+Enter. This will improve power user experience and make the app more competitive with other productivity tools.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Cmd/Ctrl+N opens the create task modal
  • Cmd/Ctrl+K focuses the global search/filter input
  • Cmd/Ctrl+Enter submits active forms (task creation, task editing)
  • Keyboard shortcuts work consistently across all pages
  • Shortcuts are documented in a help overlay (accessible via ? key)
  • No shortcuts conflict with browser defaults (test in Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
  • Unit tests for shortcut handlers in useKeyboardShortcuts hook
