<p dir="auto">It's an incredibly simple feature, but <em>sooo</em> useful. I've had a utility installed to do this for a few years now and I never go on a new windows install without it. When I use other people's PCs as well, I really miss the ability to keep a specific window in front.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>How it works:</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">As I have it at the moment, pressing Ctrl+Space on any desktop window will toggle the always on top state of that window. When that's done, they effectively stay in front, even when focus changes to another window after that.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>What it's for:</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Doing that allows me to put some content I want to see (a video, browser tab, some instructions, or notes) on my display whilst I work/type into a different window.</p>
<p dir="auto">When I'm done I just focus my pinned window and use Ctrl+Space to return it to normal.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>What I'd change:</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Admittedly, the Ctrl+Space key combination is sometimes problematic when gaming, where I might need the same combination for something else. That's why I suggest changing it to some combination with the Win key instead.</p>
<p dir="auto">Win+Space is (annoying) used to switch keyboard layouts, so it might have to become something like Win+Alt instead.</p>
<p dir="auto">It would also help, though, to allow the user to configure the shortcut, as well as a visible button to pin/unpin windows similar to the "Maximize to new desktop widget".</p>
