Having a toggle for Tablet mode would be amazing!

Description of the new feature / enhancement

A toggle with a shortcut that allows to enable/disable the tablet mode.

Tablet mode used to have a toggle in Windows 10, and at some point, it just disappeared despite something like the Tablet mode still existing.

Scenario when this would be used?

In my 2-in-1 laptop, I can flip the screen, and the tablet mode is enabled, meaning that touch areas are bigger, the keyboard appears automatically, etc. It just makes operating on a touchscreen more convenient.

However, when I use the touch screen without flipping the lid, it's quite inconvenient. Back in Win 10, there was an option that made it possible to enable/disable the Tablet mode at any point, but at some point, they thought that a completely transparent and automated approach would be better. As a heavy touchscreen user, I can say that they were wrong.
