More options to get back to the Metro menu

First - thanks! You saved my world with this app - especially on the non-touch systems I have.

For the 1 slate I do have, I've tried the "Allow Winkey to show fullscreen. Here is how I believe it could work better:

Swiping on the right side of the screen brings up the charms - that Start Menu charm should always go to the Metro Start Menu (or make it an option)
Moving the cursor to the bottom left of the screen brings up another way to get to the Start Menu - that should also go to the Metro Start Menu (or make it an option)
Also, it would be a good option to get to the Metro Start Menu from the Start8 menu (e.g., somewhere on the Start8 menu, have an icon that takes you to the Metro Start Menu - it could be an app - but ideally it would be immediately visible)

Thanks again - I am looking forward to where Star8 is headed!

I figure the most intuitive way would be if WIN-single-click would bring up the start screen appropriate to your current mode and WIN-double-click should bring up the screen for the respective other screen:

in Metro mode:

- single click of WIN key brings up the Metro start screen

- double click switches to desktop mode

in Desktop mode:

- single click brings up the Start8 start menu

- double click brings up the Metro start screen

Here's hoping that a future version could incorporate that behavior

That approach would work for me...
