Parameter to Launch PowerToys Run without Hotkey

[TeraHeath]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Would like to see a command line parameter that would allow PowerToys Run to launch without the hotkey.

Example: PowerLauncher.exe --search

Scenario when this would be used?

This would be useful for keyboards that have special function keys, such as gaming keyboards. It would allow launching without using up an existing Windows key combo.

Supporting information

Currently the PowerLauncher command line looks something like this: PowerLauncher.exe -powerToysPid --centralized-kb-hook

This can't be used to map keys since the PID would change on reboot. Launching PowerLauncher.exe by itself did not appear to work.

You could just set the keyboard key to the shortcut.

That is what I am hoping to avoid since I use some of the key combos options for other things already. Apologies for missing the duplicate issue; I searched for PowerToys Run specifically. It looks like command line parameters are requested for many of the PowerToys.

Anyway, thanks for the work that you do on this project.
