Add color space converter to PowerToys Run #34179

Open mattisvensson opened 1 month ago

mattisvensson commented 1 month ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

This feature should convert one color space into others. For example, if I paste a HEX color Code into the PowerToys Run toolbar, I get a list of the same color in RGB, HSL, CMYK, HCL, etc.

Scenario when this would be used?

This would be useful for a fast conversion into other color spaces without the need to open the browser and search for a website that does the same thing. I guess a lot of developers turning designs into code would benefit from this feature.

Does color picker solve your need? It can provide the other color codes, it just requires using the eyedropper /needinfo

@cinnamon-msft, it does work, but it's a bit of a lengthy process to get the desired value. Plus, it requires using the mouse to navigate since using TAB takes too long. It works for my needs, but it's not ideal.

For a more efficient workflow, I would prefer to use ALT + Space to bring up PowerToys Run, then CTRL + V to paste my color value. The result list would then display the converted values, allowing me to press TAB to select the value I need and ENTER to copy it to my clipboard. This would be much quicker and save a lot of time.
