PowerToys: [Run][Shell plugin] Add setting or action char to don't close command prompt after
Summary of the new feature/enhancement
If I execute ipconfig via PowerToys Run > ipconfig the command window close itself directly after executing. But the ipconfig output has to stay open, so that I can read them.
We need a setting and/or character to tell the shell plugin to not close the window after executing the command.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Character
>> ipconfig
Setting [ ] Don’t close the shell window after executing the command
Requires https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/5273 to be done first.

I think 99% of the time I run a command in the shell I want to see the output. This should be default.
@crutkas Should we mark this as
help wanted?@alannt777 explaining that an issue can be upvoted with a reaction is useful, downvoting it is not.
Currently, Whenever I want to see the output of a command like
ipconfig, I do something like this> cmd /k ipconfig(or> cmd /c ipconfig & pause). Also, there is an issue with commands, which take little longer to execute that they don’t get executed at all (likeadb connect <host>in my case, sometimes), so have to do something like this> cmd /c adb connect <host>which terminates console after completing command as supposed (current behavior doesn’t wait much!). But yeah there should be a cleaner way to do these things added by default.
