<h1 dir="auto">Steps to reproduce</h1>
<p dir="auto">Altering the shortcut of PowerToys Run to ‘Win’ key + letter key will cause shortcut conflicts.<br>
If you change the shortcut to 'Win+R' and trigger it, the 'Start' will pop up sometimes.<br>
When you press the key quickly, the probability of this situation is very high.</p>
<h1 dir="auto">Summary of the new feature/enhancement</h1>
<p dir="auto">Although the intention of the shortcut guide is pretty great, I feel that the experience of forcing an overlay that covers the entire screen is quite jarring. This comes off as a very obstructive way of finding the shortcuts. I believe that the entire point of keyboard shortcuts is to get the searching out of the way.</p>
<h1 dir="auto">Proposed (not-so) technical implementation details</h1>
<p dir="auto">I propose a fork that can implement and polish just the shortcut guide to make it unobtrusive and seamless.<br>
This could also make it a stand-alone utility. (Although this is purely out of selfish reasons, I don't use any other PowerToys, but a standalone Keyboard Shortcut Guide that doesn't force me to search through an entire list of shortcuts would make my life a lot easier.)</p>
<p dir="auto">I still don't know how this could be done, but one of the ideas is to limit the number of shortcuts that are prompted.<br>
Other ideas include, allowing the users to position where they want the guide, or a tiny search box that pops up on long press of the windows key and you can text search for what you want to do and it filters out the shortcuts.<br>
Eventually you wouldn't need the guide because you'll end up remembering the shortcuts, but it'll still be around to help if you ever need it.</p>
<h1 dir="auto">What I need:</h1>
<p dir="auto">I would love to build this utility, I would really appreciate it if someone who knows how this could be accomplished helps me to build it. [ Read newbie programmer looking for a guide (pun-intended) on open-source things and PowerToys architecture. ]</p>
