Windows button with AHK
I've been using the script provided on this github (https://github.com/Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher/discussions/747) to open flow launcher with windows button, but this script doesnt take into account win + D, win + arrow keys, etc. How can this script be edited so that if just the windows key is pressed, the !{Space} will be sent, but if not, run whatever the user pressed?

Windows search is a joke: what alternative software do you suggest?
EverythingToolbar
- What's the point of having a search function in Windows 11 if it can't find items? "Everything" found the program I was looking for and its folder in literally real time while I was typing what I was looking for.

Charms Bar Port: a new program I made to replicate Windows 8.x charms bar for Windows 10/11. Any suggestions?
Please integrate both Windows Search (native) and EverythingToolbar (and/or Everything only) search with your Charms bar -- and give the user the option to choose which one they want (or none at all, and then disable/hide the Search button).

Why do you hate us, Microsoft? Biggest mistake was "upgrading" to Windows 11 in the first place
Everything with EverythingToolbar - for finding folders really quickly ueli - a keystroke launcher ShareX - much better alternative to the snipping tool imo Microsoft PowerToys - a bunch of cool features from Microsoft that aren't implemented in windows KDE Connect - a way to connect your smartphone and computer and not use Microsoft's Link to Windows tool (I've had some times where the windows versions of this app wouldn't recognize anything, your experience may vary)

Microsoft should improve the performance of file explorer Search. It's very slow.
There's even a way to add it to your toolbar https://github.com/srwi/EverythingToolbar
