Same issue seems to occur when assigning ']' as hotkey for Windows Terminal Profiles Extension

Just to be sure, which of these two buttons did you try?

The red one is for setting global hotkeys, while the blue sets an "alias" (a "direct activation command" in PT Run parlance)

I have the same issue with System Commands; however, I'm able to assign an alias, it crashes when I attempt to toggle "Indirect" → "Direct".

Seeing a similar issue with assigning a direct alias to Windows Terminal Profiles - it doesn't crash, exactly, but switching from Indirect to Direct causes the Alias text entry field to be erased and the Alias Activation menu to return to Indirect. Windows Command Palette 0.7.3225.0 in PowerToys 0.96.0.
