Description

I have a keyboard with 24 function keys, it would be very useful to open the color picker with one of those.

When I enter F13 into the keyboard shortcut mask it's being displayed but as soon as I leave it the value resets to the previous one. powertoys-f-keys

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the keyboard shortcut registration code in the Color Picker module. Trace how the shortcut mask is saved and why it resets on focus loss for function keys like F13.
