Nice, useful extension!
Some issues and suggestions:
- Pressing the keyboard combination when the search is open should close it
- Some games report incorrect time played. After investigating, it seems the time played resets every 24 hours (86,400 seconds) of time played :

- Games with very long titles cause text to overlap:

Ideally I think there should be some system to determine the priority when games have the same name. For example, here it shows the xbox version first when it would make more sense to show the playable PC version instead. An idea for a priority system instead of a manually sortable list in settings, would be to sort by Play Count.

Some general suggestions, related to how keyboard launchers work:
- I think the list would be better if it showed the games with icons all the time instead of just when selected, similar to a keyboard launcher. An image helps to quickly identify the item at a glance without needing to read the text and it also helps to improve the list visually.
- Having a lot of items in the list at once isn't always better, because the user more than likely only needs the first or first few items in the list that more match the search, but more items should be accessible by scrolling down. Personally I think 6 titles on view at a time should be enough
- Saving the previous search when opening can be useful. The search should be reset when typing again.
