With more and more features added to powertoys and each demanding a unique keyboard shortcut, it is increasingly difficult to find ones that are not conflicting with other apps or simply with character input.
The idea would be to expose an API (local network, exe, dll) that can launch any powertoys feature as if the keyboard shortcut was pressed, and to allow any powertoy feature to be enabled with no keyboard shortcut assigned to it.
There are multiple option for what API calls will come from
a streamdeck-like device/phone app (that would be my case)
a floating button
an overlay
a phone app
a taskbar button
a Powertoys Run plugin
These would not necessarily be developped by the Powertoys devs, these would be third party solutions (I am willing to develop a stream deck plugin if this becomes a thing). The Powertoys part would just be to expose this API and allow to disable shortcuts.
Scenario when this would be used?
Any PC where it is hard to find available keyboard shortcuts for new features.
Users who use a software with many many keyboard shortcuts (CAD, video editing...)
