[launcher] - Handling keyboard shortcuts in launcher must be in sync with the rest of powerToys
See original GitHub issueSummary of the new feature/enhancement
- Right now Launcher uses the
NHotKey.Wpfnuget package for handling keyboard shortcuts (like Alt+Space). - They have another set of code in the Shell Plugin to over ride
Win+Rkeypress.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
- To unify the way in which keyboard shortcuts are handled.
- This must be similar to FancyZones and Keyboard Remapper - using low level keyboard hooks.

@crutkas Thanks. This issue was very frustrating. But I didn’t know about it up until now. Would be nice if you can either set the default setting to <kbd>Win</kbd>+<kbd>R</kbd>/<kbd>S</kbd>, or have a little tooltip that suggests using these shortcuts. I tried a nice few others and was frustrated that it didn’t work and disabled PowerToys Run.
