Description

#### **Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
My feature request is not related to a problem, but to a possible small feature that could enhance some experience.
I did notice that the shell has `Replace Windows + R` option, which works great.
Would it be possible to have the same `Replace Windows+R` option for the general hotkey that opens Flow Launcher, without the Shell plugin symbol prefilled

#### **Describe the solution you'd like**
Have a `Replace Windows + R` on `Hotkeys > Open Flow Launcher`

#### **Describe alternatives you've considered**
Tried setting shortcut myself, RunCommand keeps popping up.

#### **Additional context**
None. I tried searching around to see if this was requested before.

Research direction

Start in the Hotkeys > Open Flow Launcher settings entry and compare it with the Shell plugin's existing Replace Windows + R option. Done means the general Flow Launcher hotkey offers the replacement without a prefilled Shell plugin symbol and no longer causes RunCommand to appear.
