Keyboard shortcut for quick settings dropdown #1487

Please add a shortcut to the quick settings drop down at the top right corner of the desktop. This would provide fast mouse-less access to the most frequently used settings.

FWI under Windows 11 the equivalent menu is accessed by Win-A.

A temporary solution if you want to use the keyboard is to use Super + V to toggle the notifications menu and then use the right arrow key to move to the quick settings. Be aware if you have an extension enabled that has a menu with text entry e.g., Clipboard History you may need to use Tab before you can keep moving right with the arrow key. This is an example with the Clipboard History extension enabled.

As is happens I do have Clipboard History installed and your tab trick works get past it so thanks for that. Regardless, until we have a shortcut directly to Quick Settings I would stay the next fastest alternative which IMO is bringing up the Launcher and searching for Bluetooth, Wifi etc.
