Description Achim Bohnet 2017-07-21 10:31:17 UTC
KDE neon user edition: 5.5.3: For whatever reason the menu in the my kmail composer is hidden.  Now there no obvious way to get it back:

 * Crtl-M, or Ctrl-<modifier>-M does not work (shift,alt,super)
 * No RMB Menu has such an action.
 * I've created a new user: kmail composer has menu, but I've found no way
   to hide the menu. I've expected to get a hint how to undo when hidding.

Expected Behaviour:

* Ctrl-Shift-M  hide/shows menu (I guess Ctrl-M is in use by the input/text fields, so ctrl-shift has to be used like in konsole)
* A menu item in Settings to show/hide menu like in kmail main window.

Achim

P.S. in b.k.o kmail version 5.5.3 is not in the list of available versions. Hint hint ;-)
P.P.S I assume that menu was hidden when switching the global menu: menu plasmoid, window title and application, I'll file a new report when I can reproduce how to hide the menu

Look in .config/kmail2rc

search for the [Composer] section
in there you'll probably see the line "MenuBar=Disabled"..  remove that line.

You'll want to quit Kontact/Kmail first.

This happened to me once when I was playing with various Window Manager settings, I believe.  I'm not sure if this is a KMail bug or some kind of plasma/WM bug.

Thx, Allen!!  I've my menu back :-)

Nevertheless IMHO, that's not 'obvious' for the average desktop/pim user.
So a shortcut + menu entry would be very welcome.

Thx again Allen and all PIMsters for all your work!
