I would like two Start buttons like 4.4.170

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

Good afternoon,

In 4.4.170 I had the open shell start button in the left corner, and the Windows start button in the center. There was much happiness. I was keeping Openshell as a crutch when I couldn't get what I wanted out of the Windows 11 start menu. Somehow I managed to upgrade to 4.4.195 and now my open shell menu sits directly on top of my Windows 11 start menu and I am unable to find a way to change that. I was a pretty frequent Open-Shell user, but I gradually adopted with Windows 10 and then Windows 11 Start Menus.

Describe the solution you'd like

I am requesting an option to pin the Open Shell Menu to the left or snap it to the Windows Start Menu.

Area of issue

Start menu

Alternatives you've considered

My only options are replace the start button or do not replace the start button.

The reason why Open-Shell 4.4.170 had two start buttons (a Windows start button and an Open-Shell start button) was because it wasn't updated for proper Windows 11 compatibility, but 4.4.190 and higher fix this issue.

What I'd recommend in your situation is configuring "Left-click opens:" and "Windows key opens:" to "Windows start menu" then "Shift+click opens" and "Shift+Win opens:" to "Open-Shell menu". That way, normally the Windows start menu opens, but you can still easily access Open-Shell's custom menu if you need it.
