Shortcuts show on Quick Access and All Apps panels #33984

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I would like to have the option to display shortcuts for PowerToys modules on the Quick Access and All Apps panels that appear when the PowerToys system tray app is activated.

Scenario when this would be used?

Select the PowerToys system tray application. If a module has an activation shortcut, it should be displayed next to or under the module name in both the Quick Access and All Apps panels. This feature would ideally be turned on or off from PowerToys Settings > General.

This would improve discoverability and avoid having to open PowerToys Settings to look at the Dashboard for the shortcut.

Also, the shortcuts for any active modules could appear in the Shortcut Guide module as well. Removed as bot has identified similar issues raised already.

@slickstuffneatstuff Not 100% sure. But I imagine that there should be tool tips in the Quick Access flyout that shows the shortcuts.

There are tool tips if you hover over them. That's good but does not make the modules that discoverable. If someone does not know a shortcut and opens the Quick Access panel, seeing the shortcut upfront would help train users.
