[Run] Allow using a single key as a trigger

[dlampa]

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

It would be really convenient if the caps lock key (or for that matter any single key) could be used to trigger the launcher.

Just got v0.19.0, and this is still not supported, specifically with Caps Lock. I'm using shift+caps lock in the meantime.

Just discovered this project and kept hitting my head on the keyboard trying to add a single key to trigger the launcher 😂.

I will try to add this feature and create a PR tomorrow, let's see how it goes! 😉

Also, function keys 🤓
I'd like to launch stuff with F17 instead of Ctrl+F17, and without needing AHK-workarounds

I just stumbled on a fix for this on 0.23.0+ (and maybe earlier? I didn't think to try it before now):

In Keyboard Remapper, you can remap "Caps Lock" to "Shift + Caps Lock", then in Run, you just need to set your shortcut to "Shift + Caps Lock". After that, a single press of Caps Lock brings up Run!

This works, but unfortunately it also enabled caps lock as normal.

Yeah, it broke in 0.47, and in the latest builds you have to enable the User centralized keyboard hook to get it to work again. Check out this issue for more details: #13536

Brilliant!
