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

Currently there is no reason for me to open the start menu instead of flow launcher, however, since it is so easily accessibly with just one button, I end up opening it just to realize I can't do what I want in its search bar.

Describe the solution you'd like

Optionally replace opening the default start menu with opening flow launcher when pressing the windows button on the keyboard.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Remapping myself (many drawbacks and wonky behavior)
  • Using a shortcut (it needs to be easy enough, not overwrite potentially desirable behavior or interfere with any apps)

Additional context

I tried simply remapping the Windows key using PowerToys, however, that made all other shortcuts that use the Windows button a bit weird as well. They aren't always unusable but cause flickering of the search popup and in some cases outright don't work (Win+I to open the settings for example). I don't know how all these start menu replacements do it, but maybe their approach could be taken here as well?

Ok, I just saw that this was already submitted as a proposal once, so I'm closing it again #662
