2 years ago Ah also, if you're using a shortcut, it should still display that box above the search bar but put it in bold. like so
Shortcut: ( for Time and Date
The reason I mention this is specifically for that example, as it's often useful to put parentheses for using the calculator but it means if you put it at the beginning like (1+1)/2, PowerToys Run rightfully assumes we're looking for a Time and Date. It assumes correctly, but having to put =(1+1)/2 can be easy to forget, so having that reminder text of which plugin we're currently using would help
Description of the new feature / enhancement
PowerToys Run can do a lot of things (which is great!), hence to filter out the results you put in the shortcuts to trigger only certain plugins (which is also great!).
The problem is that there are now lots of plugins with lots of shortcuts to remember. It would be nice if small shortcut reminders could be displayed above the search bar.
These would be the shortcuts we've chosen for each plugin (not the defaults), and if the results of a query had several types of results, it would display the shortcuts for all those displayed results
For example, in this query result list:
above the bar it would display:
Shortcuts: . for Programs, < for Window Walkerand this bar would update to only show the relevant shortcut as I highlight each result one by one with my mouse/keyboardIt sounds like a niche feature, but it helps become a better power user. And having to navigate all the way to the Settings > PowerToys Run> Plugins> each plugin is very tedious when you forget them
Scenario when this would be used?
Every time a query is typed in the PowerToys Run input box
