keyboard manager remap a shortcut #47201

Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

ive developed a way to launch the onscreen keyboard from hotkey input using ahk, this challenge requires the running instance to be stopped and a new instance to run, in which causes the gui to be displayed.

powertoys only has 1 action per remap function so this chain of commands cannot be executed.

yes i know i could just make a bat file or whatever your sauce is, but i want to make the baked in functionality be able to be utilised by joe blog but also the impaired. having a string or even at the minimum a (if running "end task and open a new one") or something along those lines please?

im sorry but heres some other things i sent to the microsoft

//
this ahk script displays the onscreen keyboard gui after input criteria is met. the dictionary is flawed as you cant manually add to the dictionary or perhaps have abreviations eg if %email* is typed the input is changed to the value of this abbreviation . // %email* == mypersonalemail@loser.lost

also create a script generator so you can select task or exe or whatever and assign it to a combination of inputs.

also have startup profiles eg: //boot// userselect, startup scenario select (("siege"- launches steam, discord, applies audio routing config, disables other monitor etc etc etc.

ALSO please make swapping display configuration able to be mapped to function eg: extend can be swapped to only on 2 from maybe the little command tile thing on the bottom right but also be called by other means

//wl

Scenario when this would be used?

when using only mouse, possible easier implementation into impaired persons usage of the system but also integration with adaptive controller style interfaces

Supporting information

i just want to make it easier
