Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Not necesarily a problem, but as I'm using PowerToys Run, start menu become obsolete for me, so I want to replace it with something actually useful.

Describe the solution you'd like

To add additional option in Open-Shell ontrol settings, which is Custom keybinding. I'm trying to find a solution to show up start orb context menu (Win + X menu) as a main start menu, getting rid of start menu completely. What I mean by that specifically is to bring up Win + X menu by clicking start orb with left mouse button or by pushing Win key.

Area of issue

Start menu

Alternatives you've considered

PowerToys Keyboard Manager - I've swapped Win key with Win + X key, but it's clunky and it impacts other interactions with win key.

Additional context

This change is part of bigger Windows 11 modification I'm working on, which is in short a Windows and Mac hybrid, called WinMac.

Solved with programatically creating exe file using C#, that triggers key combination, and assigning exe as Command to run.
