Description of the new feature / enhancement

PowerToys Run is very powerful and customizable, but sometimes I forget what the "direct activation command" is for a specific plugin. This is even more embarrassing when it's a command that I've customized!

It would be great if there were a way to get a quick reminder without having to pull up the settings page. Possible solutions include:

  • An optional addition to the Run interface
  • A customizable key that shows a Shortcut-Guide-style overlay while held down when the Run dialog is up (my personal favorite)
  • A Run-exclusive command that triggers a pop-up
  • And so much more! :)

Scenario when this would be used?

This would be useful every time I'm an idiot and forget what action keys I set. It would also allow me to enable more plugins and keep my search results cleaner by not including everything in the global results.
