@franky920920 This is NOT a duplicate of #3481. #3481 is about modifier only key combinations, where all of the keys pressed are modifier keys, e.g. Ctrl+Shift+NONE. This issue is a request for non-modifier key combinations, where none of the keys pressed are actually modifier keys, instead you'd be treating a normal key as if it were a new modifier key, e.g. A+H would mean that you hold the A key as if it were a modifier key, and press the H key to activate something.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about non-modifier key combinations for keyboard shortcuts. Conceptually it seems kind of interesting, but I can see where there might be some hurdles to making a good implementation of it. but whether it's a good or bad idea that should or shouldn't be added to PowerToys, it's definitely NOT a dupe of #3481.

@franky920920 that is exactly what i meant. That would super cool, have ever palyed quake ? E.g quake 2 you can bind some keys or key combination for giver weapon eg you press E and you get rocket launcher. There is a limited amount of modifier keys and also they are harder to reach so that would be very useful if you could use non modifier key kombination.
