Allow Default Extension

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Allow having the global keybind to open directly to a specific extension (including custom installed extensions) instead of the main page

Scenario when this would be used?

For me personally, I usually just use CmdPal for a few functions like searching my files or most commonly PowerQalc. It's quite annoying that when I start up CmdPal it won't default to PowerQalc, and this is very apparent when I press Enter to copy a result and when I open up CmdPal again it's back on the default page.

I'm sure many members of the community may feel similarly about this
