[Run] Ability to execute system/OS commands like shutdown

See original GitHub issue

As per this twitter conversation, it would be nice to have the ability to execute system commands such as sleep, shutdown ,and switch user account from within the launcher via the use of friendly keywords.

Some keyword examples: “sleep” - send the PC to sleep “hibernate” - send the PC to sleep “shutdown” - shut the PC down “switch user” - switch user account

As current if we search for Sleep from within Windows Search we are only given the option to view Sleep and power settings. It is possible to run such commands from Win + R, although our command will instead look like this rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0, not quite user friendly to be honest! 😃

Screenshot taken from the twitter conversation showing how we could prioritize the UI for common Windows system commands above the search result.

I’ve done this as a workaround for now: Using similar and identical commands as posted above. Added a /f to most. I can just type them and for those who don’t show up at the top I can start with /<command> instead. Works perfectly! Make sure to put these in folders that are getting indexed. You can pretty much do anything this way.
