I never use the Always On Top feature of PowerToys, for one reason: I can never remember the hotkey required to enable it. Even if I could use the Shortcut Guide to identify it - which I cannot because it's not documented there - I also cannot remember the hotkey required to access the Shortcut Guide! Yes, I suck at recalling hotkeys and many other infrequently used details, and I've been diagnosed with a memory deficit.
For this reason, I am heavily reliant upon GUIs to do their job and self-document all the myriad things I am capable of doing. There is currently no GUI method of activating Always On Top, but that is easily rectified: add an entry to the context menu of windows' title bars to toggle Always On Top.
Scenario when this would be used?
A title bar context menu item to toggle Always On Top is "obvious" in a way that a hotkey that is not self-documenting and must be remembered to be useful is not obvious. The context menu of title bars is also the obvious place for this self-documenting GUI control, since the purpose of the title bar is to document and control the attached window.
Supporting information
Not everyone can remember a hotkey, but everyone lacking visual impairment can see a GUI menu entry.
