[Feature Request] Direct activation hotkey #9

Open R-Bower opened 2 weeks ago

R-Bower commented 2 weeks ago

Great work with this plugin!

  1. Currently I have to open PowerToys Run and then type the activation command every time I want to see the list. A direct hotkey would be more convenient. Is this possible?
  2. I'd like the option to just copy the selected option to my clipboard. Currently, the plugin pastes the result after I select it. Can you make the direct paste behavior toggleable?

Hey @R-Bower, Thanks!

  1. This is a cool idea but as far as I know not something that is supported by PowerToys Run, to make usage easier you have a couple options, firstly you can enable Clipboard Manager to show in global results so you can immediately search without having to enter the activation command (though this wont give you the list of history as entering the activation command would). Secondly, you can change the activation shortcut to something different (maybe try just 'c') so that pressing Alt+Space (or whatever shortcut you use) then 'c' opens the history which may be a bit more convenient than 'c:'. The other option I can think of would be setting up a custom mapping if you have a keyboard that supports it or using something like AutoHotKey to perform the actions when you click a certain key combination could work too.
  2. This is a great idea too and definitely something I can do, I'll update you once this is added and a release is available :)
