That just simulates the 'Windows' button pressing the middle mouse

Correct. I wrote it because when using VA it had the "Menu" key set to
open a menu but on my Dell laptop that key is right at the top of the
keyboad and a pain to use. So I wrote WinMenu to make the "Windows" key
open menus - which helped me because the "Windows" key is down between the
left shift and alt keys.

For a bit of a laugh, I've added keyboard navigation of menus to WinMenu.
This is very much a bodge rather than the 'right' way of doing things but it
is a bit of fun.
