Awake's expected behavior like MacOS & Gnome's Caffeine, one-click activation #28530

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I work with multiple OS'es frequently and having this tool as a constant is actually fantastic:

on MacOS I use Caffeine, on Gnome (Linux) as well and I just discovered PowerToys for Windows has it too!

Expected behavior like MacOS & Gnome's Caffeine, one-click activation from the taskbar.

right now the context menu pops up on both mouse buttons, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Scenario when this would be used?

single non-distracting click on the system-tray icon triggers the preferred(configured) awake setting.

I agree. It is unnecessarily cumbersome. Left click should turn it on indefinitely, right click should open the context menu for options.
