PowerToys run (alt + space) doesn't work #648

It is mapped in the config so you need to change the config:

  # Change focus from tiling windows -> floating -> fullscreen.
  - commands: ['wm-cycle-focus']
    bindings: ['alt+space']

Add a hashtag to comment them like:

  # Change focus from tiling windows -> floating -> fullscreen.
  # - commands: ['wm-cycle-focus']
  #  bindings: ['alt+space']

or change the shortcut for it:

  # Change focus from tiling windows -> floating -> fullscreen.
  - commands: ['wm-cycle-focus']
    bindings: ['alt+shift+y']

Can we change/remove this from the default config? Seems alot of people use alt+space for powertoys.

I also think changing the default keybinding would be nice. I thought my Powertoys installation was broken at first. Something like alt+c could be a good alternative. If not, a note in the README since GlazeWM + Powertoys seems to be a common configuration. I would be happy to work on either solution.

"There's another alternative to achieve everything by pausing GlazeWM key bindings. Press alt + shift + p to pause the key bindings.

Now, any key bindings, including PowerToys shortcuts, will work."

You can again play the GlazeWM shortcuts with a same keys, its a toggle action i felt this a better way to do it, rather changing default key bindings

The problem I see with this is that I know have to press 5 keys. For a common task like this, I think there should be a better workaround.

I agree with your point but since i use many key bindings that start with alt in various apps i feel pausing the glazeWM bindings is easy
