## Summary of the Pull Request Adds configurable Windows-key hold activation to Shortcut Guide while keeping the regular activation shortcut independent. Users can choose to disable Windows-key activation, show taskbar indicators, or open the full Shortcut Guide. Full-guide mode also supports a configurable hold duration and optional close-on-release behavior. <img width="1099" height="611" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e0fe4c0f-3bef-43f8-a526-d22caf9e484e" /> ## PR Checklist - [ ] Closes: N/A - [x] **Communication:** The UX and behavior were discussed before implementation - [x] **Tests:** Added/updated and all pass - [x] **Localization:** All end-user-facing strings can be localized - [x] **Dev docs:** Added/updated - [ ] **New binaries:** Not applicable - [ ] **Documentation updated:** Not applicable ## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments - Adds Off, taskbar-indicator, and full-guide Windows-key actions to Settings. - Adds a 100–5,000 ms hold-duration setting and a full-guide close-on-release option. - Handles left and right Windows keys and suppresses Start after an activated hold. - Routes Windows-key holds through a dedicated event so custom activation shortcuts remain independent. - Clears previous pressed-key registrations before refreshing them to prevent duplicate long-press callbacks. - Preserves compatibility with the existing `press_time` setting and documents the new options. ## Validation Steps Performed - Built the affected ARM64 Debug Settings, Runner, Shortcut Guide module-interface, and Shortcut Guide UI projects. - `ShortcutGuide.UnitTests`: 7/7 passed. - Targeted Settings tests: 12/12 passed. - Manually verified Off, taskbar-indicator, full-guide close-on-release, and full-guide persistent modes. - Verified configured hold thresholds, both Windows keys, Start suppression, and regular-shortcut independence. - Validated the final Settings XAML layout in the running Settings app. --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Muyuan Li (from Dev Box) <muyuanli@microsoft.com> Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: 2b3acca3-e49b-4936-8fb9-6f669bd449db
