SUMMARY
A feature I've used on other OSs is being able to activate System Moniter from the right-click context menu of the taskbar. Aside from being benificial as a security measure, this also contributes to overall accessibility.
I humbly challange the devs to reach System Moniter without the use of a keyboard.
Unless you have it favorited, it's a painfully long process to reach it, as it's usefully at the end of any list.
Particularly concerning if for any reason you need to kill a program quickly and/or resources are suddenly low and latency suddenly high.

Whilst we keep some things familiar with other OS's we are not trying to make a 1:1 direct clone

Edit, I read that backwards and thought it said keyboard only, sorry.

In any case, you can navigate Kickoff (the "start menu"), with a mouse and it's under System.
