This may something that only I am looking for, or maybe other people may use it as well.
Without Classic Shell Start Menu enabled, when we right-click the start icon in Windows 10, the image on the left appear:
Which has a lot of functionalities to access several parts of the Windows.
Now I know that the Classic Shell is a very efficient replacement for most of the links provided by Windows 10's own Quick Link menu, but the lack of being able to access them with a quick mouse sweep and a simple right-click annoys me. Instead, I have to hold shift every time I want to access that menu.
I recently installed the latest version of Classic Shell (as of writing this) on the computer of a friend (who prefers the new Start Menu to the classic one), and I was pretty pleased to see that there is indeed an option to change the *left-click*'s default function to open Windows 10's own Start Menu instead of that of Classic Shell's, and access Classic Shell's by holding shift.
This may not be asked before, but I think it is pretty easy for the dev(s) to implement a feature to allow swapping Shift+Right-Click with Shift in the Settings menu. In fact I was pretty surprised to see no one asking such a feature before! Heck, I would even work on the source to make it to my needs if a recent version of the source was available by the developer (Quick note to the author, I completely understood your point by not wanting the thieves to steal your code and publish it by scamming people to buy it, with their names on it! However, while I had the same problems in the past, I used other methods to prevent this.)
Back to the discussion, in my opinion adding this will have no impact on fresh installations as well, because it will not be enabled by default and the user and s/he has to enable it through the settings menu.
Don't other people would agree that the menu on the left is much useful than the menu on the right?
TL;DRClassic Shell's own right-click menu is useless compared to Win 10's own Start Menu context menu (aka Quick Links Menu.)
Add an option to swap Shift + Right Click with Right Click in the settings menu (disabled by default) which can be enabled by user's demand.
P.S.: I couldn't find a way to contact the original author of this project. If you are the author reading this, I'd like to show my deepest appreciation. From day 1 of upgrading to Windows 10, I am using this great tool, and it is amazing how great and flawlessly this work. Classic Start Menu is seamless, easy to use and customized, and very pleasing to eyes if a user used to Windows 10. It is great. Thank you, author. Please keep up the good work
