<h2 dir="auto">Enable mapping a shortcut to a single key (and vice versa)</h2>
<p dir="auto">The expected behaviour would be to set the following mappings:<br>
Alt + o              -&gt;     ö<br>
Shift + Alt + o   -&gt;    Ö</p>
<p dir="auto">What works already is the second example, since you can make it to produce <em>Shift + ö</em> (which then prints as <em>Ö</em>).<br>
What doesn't work is the first example, since <strong>key remapping</strong> does not allow for using shortcut sequences (instead only single keys) and on the other hand <strong>shortcut remapping</strong> does not allow for a single keystroke be its result ("Shortcut must start with a modifier key" when trying to set <em>ö</em> as the result of <em>Alt + o</em> shortcut).</p>
<p dir="auto">For me the scenario would be to get rid of German QWERTZ keyboards and be able to do programming with QWERTY, while also being able to type proper German text with Umlauts. All of that while not having to use a crude keyboard layout where, e.g.:<br>
RAlt + q = ä<br>
RAlt + p = ö<br>
RAlt + y = ü</p>
<p dir="auto">Maybe the way to go would be to either add another category that allows intermixed (shortcut -&gt; single keystroke) mappings, or just allow exactly that for the existing shortcut remapping category.</p>

<p dir="auto">I'll keep this short bcz there's literally a lot that could be added for this. It's almost a standlaone app but it should be part of windows.</p>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>Press Win key.</li>
<li>Type 'Desktop'.</li>
<li>Watch search fail not finding the desktop folder.</li>
<li>Cry.</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">So really the cortana search is at best aweful. Can we make it useful (or create something else that is useful)? It'd be good for people who like to not use mouse.</p>
