Subject: [PATCH] Update 'Ignore Shortcut' text to 'Ignore Conflict' for
clarity (#46318)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
## Summary of the Pull Request
Updates the checkbox label in the ShortcutConflictWindow (shown in the
Settings Dashboard when a hotkey conflict is detected) from "Ignore
shortcut" to "Ignore conflict". This change clarifies that checking the
box ignores the *conflict*, not the shortcut itself.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
**File changed:**
`src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/Strings/en-us/Resources.resw`
- Updated `ShortcutConflictWindow_IgnoreShortcut.Content` from `"Ignore
shortcut"` to `"Ignore conflict"`.
The checkbox appears in the ShortcutConflictWindow header row next to
the conflicting hotkey. The previous label "Ignore shortcut" was
ambiguous — it was unclear whether it meant "ignore the conflict" (allow
the shortcut to coexist) or "ignore the shortcut" (disable it). The new
label "Ignore conflict" makes the intent unambiguous.
## Validation Steps Performed
- Manually verified the resource string change in `Resources.resw`.
- Confirmed the `x:Uid="ShortcutConflictWindow_IgnoreShortcut"` binding
in `ShortcutConflictWindow.xaml` picks up the updated `.Content` value.

> "Ignore Shortcut" is ambiguous; Suggest change to "Ignore
Conflict"
> ### Description of the new feature / enhancement
>
> When ignoring shortcut conflicts, it is unclear (to me) if the "Ignore
shortcut" check box "ignores the conflict" (good) or "ignores the
shortcut" ... so it can't be used (bad). A change to the wording to
"Ignore Conflict" would clarify the intent.
>
> ### Scenario when this would be used?
>
> Renaming avoids ambiguity and avoids (me) wasting time checking the
AIs for what the check box actually does.
>
> ### Supporting information
>
> Not needed (I think)
