## Summary of the Pull Request
Adds a Shortcut Guide manifest for **Postman** and fixes a rendering bug
where single-digit keys in manifests displayed incorrectly.
- **Fix numbered-key rendering** —
`src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.Ui/Converters/ShortcutDescriptionToKeysConverter.cs`:
a single digit (`0`–`9`) in a manifest's `Keys` was treated as a Windows
virtual-key code instead of the literal digit. Since VK `1` is the left
mouse button, VK `9` is Tab, and VK `0` is undefined, shortcuts such as
`Ctrl+0` (reset zoom) and `Ctrl+9` (last tab) rendered as
blank/incorrect glyphs. Single digits are now rendered as the literal
character.
- **Add Postman shortcuts** —
`src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.Ui/Assets/ShortcutGuide/Manifests/Postman.Postman.en-US.yml`:
new manifest for `Postman.exe` covering Tabs, Sidebar, Request,
Interface, Window and modals, and Console. Auto-included via the
existing `Manifests/*.yml` glob in `ShortcutGuide.Ui.csproj`.
- **Show tab-number ranges** — Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Postman
manifests: the "switch to a specific tab" entry used the literal key
`1`, which (after the fix above) read as `Ctrl + 1`. It now uses a `1 -
8` range so the keycap conveys "any tab number 1 through 8". The
separate "last tab" (`9`) and "reset zoom" (`0`) entries remain literal
single keys.
- **Add unit tests** — new `ShortcutGuide.UnitTests` (MSTest) project
covering `ShortcutDescriptionToKeysConverter.GetKeysList`, including the
single-digit regression.
## PR Checklist
- [x] Closes: #48460
- [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors
already. <!-- Filed #48460; the v0.100 announcement invites app-shortcut
contributions via PR. -->
- [x] **Tests:** Added/updated and all pass <!-- New
ShortcutGuide.UnitTests (MSTest); 8 tests pass locally via
vstest.console. -->
- [x] **Localization:** All end-user-facing strings can be localized
<!-- Shortcut names live in per-language manifest files (`*.en-US.yml`);
other locales fall back to en-US, consistent with existing manifests.
-->
- [ ] **Dev docs:** Added/updated <!-- N/A: no behavior requiring
dev-doc changes. -->
- [ ] **New binaries:** Added on the required places <!-- N/A: the new
manifest is a data asset under an already-shipped, globbed folder. The
new test project is auto-discovered by the existing `**\*UnitTest*.dll`
VSTest glob, so no CI pipeline change is required. -->
- [ ] **Documentation updated:** <!-- N/A -->
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
The Shortcut Guide displays per-app shortcuts from YAML manifests,
matched to the foreground window via `WindowFilter`. Keys are converted
to keycaps by `ShortcutDescriptionToKeysConverter`. Numeric key strings
were unconditionally parsed as virtual-key codes, so literal-digit
shortcuts rendered wrong. The fix adds a `>= 0 and <= 9` case that emits
the digit character as-is; non-digit numeric codes (arrows, etc.) are
unchanged.
The new Postman manifest exercises this with `Ctrl+0` / `Ctrl+9`. The
browser/Postman "specific tab" entries were updated from the literal `1`
to the `1 - 8` range string, rendered verbatim by `KeyVisual` (the same
path used by the existing `Number (1-9)` key in the Windows Explorer
manifest).
A new `ShortcutGuide.UnitTests` (MSTest) project covers the converter:
single digits render literally (regression test), modifier ordering,
non-numeric passthrough (e.g. `1 - 8`), and arrow-key VK mapping.
## Validation Steps Performed
Built and ran locally (x64 Debug):
- Built `ShortcutGuideModuleInterface`, `ShortcutGuide.Ui`, and
`ShortcutGuide.IndexYmlGenerator`; launched the Debug `PowerToys.exe`.
- Triggered Shortcut Guide (`Win+Shift+/`) with **Postman** focused: the
Postman section renders with all categories, and `Ctrl+1` / `Ctrl+9` /
`Ctrl+0` display correctly (previously blank/incorrect).
- Verified the "specific tab" entry renders as `Ctrl + 1 - 8` in
**Edge**, **Chrome**, **Firefox**, and **Postman**.
- Built `ShortcutGuide.UnitTests` and ran via `vstest.console.exe`:
**8/8 tests pass**.

Specs
All approved specs are inside the Wiki spec section
Spec process
- A proposed item is either new or requesting additional design
- Spec is written inside the Specs folder and a PR happens with feedback.
- Once spec is signed off, we move it into the Wiki spec section.
Thought process behind this
We want a single wholistic for PowerToys. This includes both source code, docs, and specs. At the same time, we want to ensure items have pull requests and feedback. Since the wiki cannot do PR's, we will do the process above.
This process will allow specs to be image rich but not impact the primary repository's size as more items come online.
