The initial versions of PowerToys Run used the old WindowWalker default shortcut of Win+Ctrl, which I found to be fantastic. Then they rewrote the whole hotkey detection code which made that hotkey combination nonfunctional.
Now I use Win+Ctrl+Space but it doesn't work at all if certain apps are focused, ironically VSCode and Windows Terminal, so you have to enable some "compatibility mode" that also doesn't work properly sometimes with those apps in focus. The PowerToys Run window pops up but it isn't always focused.
Might have to fork the damn thing and reinstate the old hotkey code :/
