Ability to use CAPSLOCK key to launch Powertoys Run

[ramonsmits]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

The CAPSLOCK key is located on the 'home row' of the keyboard. It is the perfect key for a launcher

Scenario when this would be used?

The current default ALT+SPACE is already used by Windows itself so another shortcut is needed. Second, it would only be a single key to hit with your left pinky.

Supporting information

A workaround exists by:

PowerToys Run

Activation key: CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + R

Keyboard Manager

Remap Caps Lock key to CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + R

While that issue is similar, it is closed. Powertoys shouldn't be that restrictive in what keys can be used as activation keys.
