Description of the new feature / enhancement

There should be a single shortcut (e.g. Win+Shift+Z) to enable/disable ZoomIt as a whole.

Scenario when this would be used?

At the start and end around the time the various ZoomIt functions will be needed (e.g. start/end of a presentation)

Supporting information

The original ZoomIt was designed around starting it when it will be needed (e.g. for a presentation) then shutting it down (after the presentation). Because of that short runtime, it's not a big issue if its shortcuts are so numerous and so basic (ctrl+) that they can conflict with some other apps.

PowerToys however is designed to be running constantly. It shouldn't be reserving so many shortcuts for a single utility, and much less have shortcuts that can so easily conflict with other apps (i.e. without the windows keys).

I filed this issue as a "feature/enhancement", but IMHO, it is bad enough to be considered a bug.
And likely, this is why #37139 was filed as well.

This is exactly how I used ZoomIt - load it when needed, unload it once the presentation was done. It is a wonderful utility, but its built-in, always-on, can't-disable shortcut keys ended up interfering with my regular workflows.
