Shortcut control

[insomniachi]

bring over shortcut control from power toys

We should be able to create a KeyboardAccelerator from this control.

@insomniachi so to make it as a control that can be used with SettingsCard to enable developers to let a user set a shortcut key? And then have something that lets you easily reference/use that set key somewhere else in an app to activate something?

FYI @niels9001 do you know much about this setup in PowerToys or know who does?

Yes, exactly.

Has there been any progress on this proposal? It's a basic accessibility feature that users can remap a key to anything they want whether it be because the keyboard they are using is a different language or the key is unable to be easily pressed.

I want to provide more examples of how others have implemented hotkey/shortcut customization:

Windows Terminal

Is this going to include a background process to listen for the shortcuts?
