feat: allow enabled to accept a callback for lazy evaluation #105

Feature Request

Summary

Currently, the enabled option in HotkeyOptions only accepts a boolean. It would be useful to also accept a callback (i.e. () => boolean) to support lazy evaluation.

Motivation

There are cases where the enabled state depends on values that are re-evaluated at hotkey trigger time, not at registration time. Having to re-register the hotkey every time that condition changes is cumbersome.

A callback form would allow users to defer the check to when the hotkey is actually fired:

useHotkeys('mod+s', save, {
  enabled: () => !isReadOnly,
})

Proposed API change

// Current
enabled?: boolean

// Proposed
enabled?: boolean | (() => boolean)

The implementation would just call enabled() instead of reading it directly when it's a function.

Alternatives considered

Passing a reactive enabled value that changes over time works, but requires the caller to manage that reactivity and causes unnecessary re-registrations.
