Especially in Excel, using the keyboard to do everything is vastly superior in Windows.

However in MacOS `command-shift-/` (⌘?) immediately shifts focuses to the help menu where you can begin typing to navigate directly to any command that appears in an application's menus, without needing to know where the command is hierarchically organized. It's very fast, and seems to work everywhere.

I have Karabiner-Elements configured to register ⌘? whenever I press and release the left control alone without using it as a modifier of any other key. The `to_if_alone` condition in Karabiner-Elements is one of my favorite ways to re-use all of the modifier keys to invoke special commands. It would be great if I could figure out how to do that in Windows.

Could you share your config? I couldn't find your modification on https://ke-complex-modifications.pqrs.org/.

I'd be surprised if AutoHotkey didn't offer something like that. I miss it every day on macOS.
