SUMMARY When you do right-click in console window, there opens a pop-up menu, but there is no 'Show Menu Bar' option. Even the KDE documentation explicitly says there should be a 'Show Menu Bar' option: https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/konsole/konsole/commandreference.html#menubar STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open konsole 2. Do a right-click OBSERVED RESULT Observe that there is no 'Show Menu Bar' option in a pop-up menu that opens. EXPECTED RESULT There should be a 'Show Menu Bar' option in a pop-up menu that opens. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 23.10 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note that keyboard combination 'Ctrl-Shift-M still works: it shows or hides Konsole menu bar at the top of the window.
It is easy to hide the menu bar by mistake (or, perhaps another bug and the menu bar hides itself, as I don't recall hiding it???). Anyways, there is no way to bring it back or to show the keybinding from the UI, once it has been removed. It seems like it used to be in the right click context menu before, but has been removed (as a mistake) at some point?
Using the recent version, there's a "menu..." item when the toolbars and menubar are hidden. When the session toolbar is visible, the "menu..." item is not there since it is in the session toolbar.

Hi, To re-iterate the bug, with clear steps to reproduce: 1. Press CTRL+SHIT+M (I've done this many times by accident) 2. Forget the key combination 3. Try to bring up menu bar (File, Edit, Show etc...) Expected results: There should be a clear way to bring back the menu bar via the UI. (It used to be there in the right-click context menu, but is gone for some reason. It is still listed in the documentation!) Observer results: There is no way to bring back the menu bar via the UI. One needs to guess the key combination or use Google (yes, I've needed to do this many times).
To show the menu bar again, I right click on the terminal and check the option in Menu -> More. Sometimes the "Menu" entry is not present, but this patch fixes the problem for me: https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/1093.
Additional info: the option to hide/show the menu bar in the context menu was probably replaced with the hamburger menu in https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/commit/b8325d2f1842e8f5b4999e7e4510093895818dee.
Git commit 3256676a54307196dbb824334820a42d2cf0ce33 by Kurt Hindenburg, on behalf of Luca Carlon. Committed on 06/05/2025 at 23:27. Pushed by hindenburg into branch 'master'. Ensure hamburger menu is in the popup menu when instance is re-created This commit fixes an issue with the hamburger menu not appearing in the context menu. This typically happens when you split the view multiple times. This is particularly bothering because you cannot show the menu when it is hidden.
