    the windows key + r will open the Run command window, seems a lot easier then what you did for that but the other stuff PowerToys do is worth it

      Win+R, wt, enter

      Alt+Space, wt, enter (or .term and auto complete will fill in “Terminal”)

      It’s pretty much identical in terms of keystrokes. I just always forget “wt” is the way to launch Windows Terminal from Run, and that it works with PowerToys Run as well. My main sell was that the latter is a decent quick launcher with some useful tools built in to keep you from ever bothering with the start menu. I’m sure if I played with the Keyboard Manager a bit more I could probably go for something like Super/Win+Shift+Enter and skip Run or PowerToys Run altogether. I just haven’t bothered for whatever reason.
