you can use Fluent as Start Menu replacer

download AutoHotKey and create this script, then launch the script in Autorun when Windows start (its set to [CTRL] + [SPACE] so... you need to change the script if not use this combo in Fluent, with this script when you press [Win] key open Fluent instead Start Menu):

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 RWin:: { Send "^ {Space}" return } LWin:: { Send "^ {Space}" return }

Surprised to see the Vim-like key mapping option..I think that's great. To use that, press CTRL M.. then hold Shift and type the letters. ESC removes the tags. I appreciate this program for that feature, and in time I will learn other features.

Have tried a lot of launcher in search of a Spotlight alternative, like Listary, ueli, Keypirinha, Powertoys run etc. This one is easily the best of the ones I have tried! It has a LOT of customizability, good search algorithm (with machine learning I believe), indexing of network shares, and is also very fast. Great work from the developers, who also seem very active

This is the most awesomest launcher of all launchers! Integrates with Everything and QuickLook! This tool is almost too good to be true.
