Keyboard Shortcut

[dtigue]

The ability to change keyboard shortcuts that invoke different modules within Power Toys

I use several applications that have keyboard shortcuts already setup in the application. Also I use an application called AutoHotKey. I use this application for work, so I can automate some of the repetitive tasks I do daily. Other applications already use the Win+CTRL button keyboard shortcut. So when I use it for other applications the search (WindowWalker) bar pops up on me. The ability to change this shortcut to something like CTRL+SPACE or WIN+SPACE or any other user defined shortcut would be great. I love this module but for now I've had to disable it so I can do my work without having the search (WindowWalker) bar keep popping up on me.

The gnome desktop has this capability to setup new keyboard shortcuts or change the built-in shortcuts in their settings application. This would be a nice feature to have as an extra "module" within PowerToys. Then all PowerToys users could create keyboard shortcuts to launch any application that they wish and they would have the capability to change the built-in PowerToys keyboard shortcuts to one of their choosing.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

A small section in the WindowWalker settings that allows me to click into an input bar that then records the next keyboard combination of keys you hit. Then an "apply" button to apply the new keyboard shortcut.

Or another module section for Keyboard Shortcuts that would allow users to change any of the built-in PowerToys shortcuts or create new shortcuts for any application that they want.

Window walker will be moved into launcher. Launcher's keystroke will be configurable.

#44 is our tracking item for launcher. And we do have a Keyboard remapper which is #6
