    Calc.exe is a click or hotkey away.

    The Start Menu is already there, no hotkey setup required. Plus, I can close it with a single key too. It’s simply more convenient.

      If you say so. I think having to wait for the latency of the web search to come back would drive me up the wall if I tried your method.

      Win+number row are hotkeys for your taskbar favorites. No explicit setup is required other than having your taskbar favorites ordered how you want them. Pressing the hotkey will open the program if it’s closed, focus the program if it’s in the background, or minimize the program if it’s focused.

        I mean technically I do that, but mine doesn’t do a web search (linux) so it’s not equivalent anyway. It is very convenient tho

          I mean no disrespect, but I have my doubts.

          I’ll measure it next time I’m at my desk- on a wired gigabit connection it felt like about 80-100ms

          Of course, results probably vary a bit based on how far away the closest Bing server is (or whatever is handling the request)
