Description

I updated to the latest version of flow launcher recently and one of my keyboard shortcuts in visual studio stopping working.

Visual Assist has a [default key shortcut](https://www.wholetomato.com/learn/keyboardShortcuts) of Alt-G to go to the implementation of a symbol. This stopped working and I eventually remembered that I'd updated flow launcher and tried exiting it, then when that fixed the problem I checked in the settings and found this (new?) shortcut.

I can understand it's a useful feature for people, though personally I wouldn't use it, but if this is the case I would hope to have it scoped more narrowly so it doesn't consume a shortcut that other applications may be using when it doesn't visibly do anything unless a file dialog is open.

For me I've disabled the shortcut so this issue can be closed if you don't think this is a problem you want to fix.

1. Update to latest flow launcher (I would guess a fresh install with no settings also reproduces)
2. Check the default hotkey of Alt-G is listed under 'dialog jump'
3. Go to visual studio or another program that allows shortcuts
4. Try to use Alt-G as an existing shortcut, or enter it as a new shortcut in the keyboard customisation.

When dialog windows are shown, we register Dialog Jump shortcut.
