@crutkas Would like some help as to where to start on this issue and where to find the existing Edit PopUp code. Thanks.

https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/Controls/ShortcutControl is the control.

I think it would have a default shortcut passed to the control and have the control have a 'reset' button that then flows into the normal flow of changing it so the key logic stays the same.

@crutkas Thanks! I will try to work on this. Though I haven't worked on Visual Studio before, is it possible to build/compile PowerToys from the repo by any other IDE or lighter set of dependencies cause currently it needs extra components which will need 32 GB of space and almost 8 GB of download, I have a very slow internet and just wanted to confirm if there is an alternate way or a method to work on this without needing so much space and downloads. Also if I understand correctly I wouldn't need to Compile the Installer in order to work on this, is that right? Any help is appreciated, I really want to work on this.

I'll be taking over this issue since there hasn't been any activity for over a month. I plan to work on it over the weekend and will have a solution ready soon.

This issue has been fixed, a new release has been created. I think it should be closed. @jaimecbernardo
