Reset the settings

[ChoiYunseok98]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

you can assign keyboard shortcuts to module, but there is no function to revert them to their default values.
It is recommended that you have the ability to return each shortcut to its default settings or initialize the entire setting.

Scenario when this would be used?

When I first installed the PowerToy, I set up the settings in a chaotic way.
However, there is no function to return this value to the default value, and it remained modified even when reinstalling.

Supporting information

It can be difficult to understand because I am not fluent in English. If you don't understand, ask me. XD

Try uninstalling PowerToys, and delete everything in %ProgramFiles%\PowerToys and %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\PowerToys and install it again. See if this helps. :)

Thanks to you, I solved it.
But it's a pretty uncomfortable way.
If I implement this, would you like to merge it?

@ChoiYunseok98 Cloud you clarify how are you going to implement this?
Something like a button in the setting UI or another way to approach this?

[ChoiYunseok98]

@franky920920 I drew a way to match the existing UI.

What do you think looks better?

[franky920920]

@ChoiYunseok98 Please do not start working on this before this issue is discussed with core contributors.
I do prefer the second one. 😄

[ChoiYunseok98]

Ok, I'll be waiting for answer.
Thank you for your kindness :)

hello @ChoiYunseok98!

What i'd suggest

1. Create new section, "Reset" at bottom.
2. have bar what you proposed.
3. When button hit, stop all running PTs, delete the directory, relaunch enabled PowerToys.

Thoughts?

[ChoiYunseok98]

@crutkas Very good. Would you mind if I start this?

[crutkas]

Please start

[ChoiYunseok98]

Ok, I'll start.

Two thoughts:

• We should watn the user and maybe ask if he wants a backup before.
• Possibly some regkeys have to be deleted too.

[jaimecbernardo]

It'd be good to maintain logs, though, I think.

[crutkas]

good point, lets verify that in the PR. @ChoiYunseok98 keeping logs is a great idea, @jaimecbernardo called this out.

Also #3822

[crutkas]

@ChoiYunseok98 lets actually track this in the older issue. Ok?

[franky920920]

@crutkas Is #3822 the tracking issue?

[crutkas]

Yes
