Description of the new feature / enhancement

Display a list of all the hotkeys registered by the power toys, specifying which powertoy holds it.

Scenario when this would be used?

When - suddently - a previously working hotkey in another application does not work anymore, we have to investigate which application has registered it. Power Toys have a lot of utilities, so a user could open the "Hotkeys" page of the power toys and check if it has registered the hotkey under investigation.

Supporting information

Recently, Ctrl-Space (autocompletion) was not working anymore in Eclipse, and I found it was the Peek function of Power toys that was holding it, but only because I found the answer here. So I could change it.

This seems like a useful feature, probably this can be extended as a separate module that lists all the current hotkeys for not just PowerToys, but for Windows & other apps (if possible).

I had this issue as well, except with autocomplete in PowerShell.

I feel like Peek should only be hooking when an Explorer window is under the cursor or selected.

I totally agree and I've seen many, many requests like this. Most as to add it to Shortcut Guide, though. @RohitY24 you should give that a try. I've opened the issue #24880 which is - in first place - about updating the notification icon pop-up. But I would love to expand the current solution to be more like Windows 11 Start menu.
