SequenceManager ignores ignoreInputs (sequences fire while typing in inputs)

[cursor]

Bug

SequenceManager.register(..., { ignoreInputs: true }) still matches and fires while the user is typing in an <input>/<textarea>/<select> (and also prevents the final character when preventDefault is enabled).

SequenceOptions extends HotkeyOptions and includes ignoreInputs, so this option looks supported, but SequenceManager never checks it.

Versions

• @tanstack/hotkeys: 0.1.3
• (via) @tanstack/react-hotkeys: 0.1.3

Repro

import { getSequenceManager } from "@tanstack/hotkeys"

const seq = getSequenceManager()

seq.register(["G", "R"], () => {
  console.log("matched")
}, {
  ignoreInputs: true,
  timeout: 800,
  preventDefault: true,
  stopPropagation: true,
})

1. Focus a text input
2. Type gr quickly

Expected

When the key events originate from an input-like element, the sequence should be ignored (no match, no callback, no preventDefault/stopPropagation).

Actual

The sequence matches and fires even while the input is focused. With preventDefault: true, the final key in the sequence is prevented (so the second character does not get typed), and app-level handlers (like route navigation) can trigger unexpectedly.

Root cause

src/sequence.ts does not implement the same input filtering that HotkeyManager has (see src/hotkey-manager.ts / #isInputElement and the ignoreInputs check in #processTargetEvent). SequenceManager’s #handleKeyDown should likely skip processing when options.ignoreInputs !== false and event.target is input-like (and probably should not advance currentIndex either).

Happy to provide a minimal repro repo if helpful.

Haha, sorry, this was me 😅 I think this is solved by #21
