Description of the new feature / enhancement

I am always accidentally hitting alt-spacebar when I just want a spacebar. I want to turn off the Run command in Powertools which is activated. I can't find the run command. Powertools has so much these days, it needs a find option to find stuff in it.

Scenario when this would be used?

Do you mean you want you wish to turn off PowerToys Run altogether? If that is the case then, it would be under System Tools > PowerToys Run

You could also remap the activation shortcut if you wish. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/run#settings

As of 2/03/2025, you can't remap to "Ctrl+Space" but "WinKey+Space" works https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/29107

Hi @rwgreene999,

You can double-click on the PowerToys icon in the system tray to see all the modules at once:

You can disable a module from here, or click any of the module names to go straight to their individual settings pages, which will let you change the keyboard shortcut.

Another option is to single-click on the icon to open up the Quick Access menu, and then click More to see a compact list, from where you can enable/disable modules easily:

It's filter inside powertoys I mean - to filter on all the tools inside the settings. Not P-Run - there FlowLancher is better ;)
