more than one key do the same action in PowerToys Run #16504

Description of the new feature / enhancement

to search installed program only in PowerToys Run the default key is . , but in Chinese input method the period t is 。. I hope using the 。 do the same thing instead of switch input method type .. So could PowerToys allow more than one key do same thing, or add a localization support to ignore difference between half width and full width forms

Scenario when this would be used?

I'm using PowerToys and Chinese keyboard, but use key to search in PowerToys Run, switch keyboard frequently. Ｉｔ＇ｓ　ｔｅｒｒｉｂｌｅ．

If I just change it to Chinese symbol, I need keep Chinese keyboard be selected in using PowerToys Run, but sometime I also use English input, then I need switch input method. Pressing the symbol key has difference result between English input mode and Chinese input mode, generally, not just dot ., for example less-than key will be 《 in Chinese input, greater-than sign will be 》 ...

The other way, I can change the direct activation command to number. The number keys has same action in both Chinese input and English input. So you are probably right.
