Powertoys: [keyboard manager] A shortcut to toggle enable current shortcuts

[lakitu13]

I realize that a profiles feature is to be implemented for keyboard manager as seen on #1881 and would be an easy way to toggle between a profile with the actual shortcuts and a blank profile as an on/off toggle but that seems slightly far for now and having a way of quickly toggle it off would be a nice QoL change that doesn't necessarily overlap with profiles.
For a bit of context, I'm using shift+1~5 to send 6~0 while gaming as a sort of accessibility workaround and would like to be able to use the !@#$% symbols on chat without having to tab out and disable keyboard manager or setting another convoluted set of shortcuts to send those inputs again.
So:

• shift+1 currently set to 6
• press toggle shortcut(e.g. win+\~)
• can now type _Hello!_ instead of _Hello6_
• press toggle shortcut again
• shift+1 is now back as 6

@lakitu13 The confusion with this could be that since Keyboard Manager in itself remaps keys/shortcuts, users could get confused about whether this shortcut (Win+\~) would be affected by remaps. Would you expect it to be a shortcut that will be unaffected by any remaps? (for example if a user remapped Win to Ctrl, will pressing Win+\~ actually toggle Keyboard Manager?)

Yes! Calling it a "master shortcut" could make it easier to understand it would take priority over the "normal" shortcuts and key remapping. Once you choose your own "master shortcut" there could also be a confirmation prompt alerting the user if one of these keys is already in use as a remap/shortcut and vice versa.
Additionally on the interface, all the remaps and shortcuts could be grouped and indented to the master shortcut setting to help make it clear it has priority. Furthermore, this option could be hidden under an advanced settings, though it seems unnecessary in a set of tools meant for power users.

I believe it could look like this:

Heya, found this by googling. A master shortcut would be amazing, and would allow me to selectively remap keys to use in certain games, but still be able to toggle the remaps off when I want to use the keyboard normally to type in chat.
