Feature request: keep taskbar hidden when windows key is pressed #5

Open midrare opened 1 year ago

The use case is to rebind the Windows key to something other than that start menu (e.g. keypirinha or everything). Currently, you can't do this without inadvertently triggering the task bar to appear.

Do you want the taskbar hidden permanently? If so, how would you access the tray icons?

midrare commented 1 year ago

Yes, pretty much. I'll use yasb for things like time and volume, and if I really need the tray icons, I'll use ButteryTaskbar's hotkey or the scroll mechanism to show it again.

I really want that too!

This would be really useful, I currently use komorebi, and nearly all my hotkeys use the windows key as a modifier, so everytime i finish typing a hotkey the start menu will open, i had to come up with a hacky workaround to using autohotkey v2:

^!Space Up::Send "{Control Up}{Alt Up}{LWin}"
~LWin::Send "{Blind}{vkE8}"

The above attempts to keep the windows key functionality for hotkeys but prevent it from activating the start menu when pressed, and use control+alt+space to activate the start menu instead.
