Add PowerToys shortcuts to Shortcut Guide

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Include keyboard shortcuts to PowerToys apps in the Shortcut Guide overlay

Scenario when this would be used?

I love PowerToys but I have a hard time remembering all the keyboard shortcuts without referring to "Welcome to PowerToys" or the settings menu. It would speed up my adoption if those shortcuts were included in the Shortcut Guide overlay, because it's much less of a hassle to hold down the Windows key if I can't remember which keys to press.

PowerToys flyout can be used for this as well (even though it would be easier to do it by showing shortcut guide). i.e. Opening flyout by single-clicking PowerToys tray icon and hovering the specific tool will show the shortcut for that tool:

Coincidentally I ran the shortcuts guide today to see what the shortcut was for quick accents and was surprised to see no PowerToy shortcuts there, With so many shortcuts now they should be listed in this guide.

This would be super helpful! Very often i don't use functions of PowerToys, because i forgot the Shortcut. In my case i don't need any other Shortcuts in the Shortcut Guide Overlay, so the best case for me would be some checkboxes to selct which Shortcuts to show.

/dup #15405 Besides: would adding the shortcuts to the existing fly-out be sufficient? image
