Description of the new feature / enhancement

The "Windows key shortcut guide" will aditionally show all Powertoys shortcuts that are active.

If e.g. the colour picker is active, the "Windows key shortcut guide" will show the shortcut for it. If it is turned off, it wont appear.
For this feature to work it will have to check for the shortcut actively since the user can/ and sometimes has to (in order to avoid one shortcut performing multiple actions) change the key combination.

Aditionally, there might be a quick access in this menu, to turn all shortcuts8individually) on and of.

Scenario when this would be used?

After forgeting the shortcut to a PowerToys feature the app would not have to be opend but the shortcut would be easily accessible.

Supporting information

Right now the "Windows key shortcut guide" only shows Windows internal shortcuts, but remembering all the other shortcuts is quite challanging, especially scince Powertoys is quite big by now and will grow steadily. Right now I counted more than 12 diferent Shortcuts, in adition to those already existing (like my personal AutoHotKey ones).

Having them all visible will help remembering them and therefore might even increase the usage of some features, scince there is a reminder of these features everytime opening "Windows key shortcut guide"

This appears to be a dupe of #20601, #26275, and/or #21768.

Actually, I found an even earlier issue that looks like a better candidate: /dup #15405.
As for what you should do, I'd suggest closing this issue and adding your own comments and/or reaction emojis to the existing one.
