Enable PowerToysRun with WindowsKey only

[Ogieeeeee]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Basically it would be nice to eliminate the start window and replace this with PowerToysRun when pressing the [windows key].

Scenario when this would be used?

Beautifull, handy and specially clean. Don't need a redundant start button left under your taskbar as well anymore.

Supporting information

I think this should be really possible to do. Here are some notes of the current Windows 11 behaviour for the [windows key].

1. You only get the start window if you press and release the [windows key] button.
2. You only trigger a windows shortcut when pressing [windows key] and pressing a shortcut key. ( Note that no release of the key is needed to trigger a shortcut)

Proposed solution

Add a checkbox in the PowerToysRun section to replace behaviour 1, mentioned above, to trigger PowerToysRun instead of start window.

This could fall under #3269 but I assume it might be more easy to implement this for PowerToys Run

I see. That's a good idea, I never really used the Windows key, I thought it was more of a hindrance, so it looks like it could be put to good use.

I support this idea too! Would love this feature.
