Description

Clicking the tray icon to have that popup window show up feels unnatural.

I can't find a way to click the icon and open the real application.

Using Keybase is a multiple step: click tray icon, click hamburger icon, click Open Keybase.

Right-click and left-click have the same behavior (open popup window). Ideally, right-click should open a menu with some options (e.g. quit app).

Research direction

Start by locating the Windows tray-icon handling in the Electron client and inspect how left- and right-click events open the popup. Done means left-click can open the real application and right-click presents a menu with options such as quitting, without the current extra navigation steps.
