[Run] Consider keyboard layout mismatch #35991

Closed hheimerd closed 1 week ago

hheimerd commented 1 week ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

PowerToys Run should support searching with multiple keyboard layouts. When a user types a search query, the system should consider all enabled layouts (or prioritize the English layout if multiple layouts are active).

Scenario when this would be used?

This feature would be useful when a user forgets to switch to the correct keyboard layout (e.g., typing in Spanish instead of English) while searching in PowerToys Run. It would ensure that the search works correctly without needing to manually change the layout.
