Description
I use KeepingYouAwake every now and then. When I need it, it is very handy. I always specify the amount of time I want to activate for. I can't seem to get used to the "left click to activate/deactivate now" feature. It surprises me because every other item in my menu bar shows a menu when I left click. Though I can see how this functionality makes sense for someone who uses the app every day with the default duration.
Could there be a preference that makes KeepingYouAwake always show the menu on left click? It could be called "Always show menu" or "Enable quick activation" (current behavior, enabled by default).

Start by tracing the existing left-click activation behavior and preference handling; done means users can choose to always see the menu while preserving the current quick-activation behavior by default.
