PowerToys Run - Differentiate results between plugins

[cat38275]

Working on a machine with several versions of Visual Studio installed (2010, 2015, 2017, 2019), so the sensible search term to load an instance of Visual Studio 2017 is "2017".

This brings up "Visual Studio 2017" just fine, but it is always the second suggestion, not the first. The first suggestion is to copy "2017" to the clipboard.

If I had actually performed a calculation with the calculator then copying the result to the clipboard should perhaps be the first entry, but since no operations / calculation has been performed, and there is a matching start menu entry to run, the first suggestion should be the start menu entry, not copy to clipboard.

Related to #3347. We can probably add a special character to invoke calculator so the search result between calc and app can be separated.

i use matlab and have the same problem. i don't know under which circumstances i would ever want to press alt+space to write a number in the clipboard. i could write it right there where i would insert it.
this would have the lowest prio in my opinion. maybe the tool shuld remember the last selection for the entry.

We are tracking this issue in #4087. Closing this as a duplicate.
