[KBM] shortcut to run a command w/ arguments

[fishzle]

re-mapping keys is useful, but what I really want is for my preferred Shortcut to run a command (and options) of my choice. Like the Exotic calculator key, but more generic.

I'm currently using a combination of AHK and wizmo (https://www.grc.com/wizmo/wizmo.htm) to bind Win-Z to a command that puts my computer to sleep.

; AHK fragment
#z:: ; Go to sleep mister computer
  Run, wizmo.exe standby quiet
Return

I know I don't have to use wizmo, but it's so much more readable than the equivalent rundll command.

@saahmedm, I'm unsure this is in scope for v1. launch apps via key short cut + args.

Implementing this would require some refactoring in KBM. Right now we have single methods for remapping keys and remapping shortcuts and each of these methods both "detect" the shortcut/key being pressed, and accordingly handle the events after that. By refactoring we can decouple the "detect" and handle logic, so that for this feature, the detect logic can be re-used, but instead of sending a new shortcut we would just launch an app (or run any custom API).

To me this seems something that should be implemented in its own module and not in KBM.

Closing this in favor of #3350
