💡 What: Enhanced keyboard shortcuts for the theme switcher and mobile menu. Added a functional 'M' key shortcut to open the menu and updated aria-label attributes to include shortcut hints.

🎯 Why: Shortcuts improve efficiency for power users and keyboard navigators, but they must be discoverable. Including them in the aria-label ensures screen reader users are aware of them, while the visual <kbd> tags help sighted users.

📸 Before/After: Visual tooltips now correctly show '(M)' when the menu is closed and '(Esc)' when open. aria-label attributes now read "Ouvrir le menu (M)" or "Soleil (Activer le mode clair) (Shift+T)".

♿ Accessibility: Improved WCAG compliance by ensuring the accessible name of interactive elements includes their keyboard shortcuts. Added proper focus and haptic feedback when shortcuts are triggered.

This change improves the accessibility and utility of global keyboard shortcuts by:
- Implementing the 'M' key shortcut to open the navigation menu.
- Enhancing shortcut discoverability for screen reader users by appending '(M)', '(Esc)', and '(Shift+T)' hints to `aria-label` attributes.
- Ensuring these labels update dynamically as the component state changes (e.g., from 'Open' to 'Close').
- Maintaining parity between visual `<kbd>` tooltips and accessible names.
- Implementing proper cleanup for keyboard listeners to support Astro View Transitions.
