Description of the new feature / enhancement
I am requesting an enhancement for the PowerRename tool in PowerToys. Specifically, I would like the ability to customize the shortcut key assigned to PowerRename in the extended context menu that appears when holding down the Shift key and right-clicking on a file. Currently, the default shortcut key is "w," but this key is also assigned to the "New" file or folder creation function, making it inconvenient to use. Allowing users to change this would provide greater flexibility and personalization.
Scenario when this would be used?
This feature would be used whenever a user wants to quickly access PowerRename through the extended context menu. Customizing the shortcut key would be particularly useful for users who prefer a different key due to personal habits or ergonomic considerations. It would also benefit those who frequently use other tools with conflicting shortcut keys, such as the "New" file or folder creation function, allowing for a more streamlined and efficient workflow.
Supporting information
This enhancement would align with the customizable nature of PowerToys, giving users more control over their experience. It could be implemented as an additional setting within the PowerRename options in PowerToys. By allowing users to define their preferred shortcut key, this feature would improve accessibility and user satisfaction. Additionally, avoiding the conflict with the "New" file or folder creation function would enhance usability. Thank you for considering this enhancement request.
