Description Nicolas Girard 2004-11-01 15:41:18 UTC 
Version:           inconnu (using KDE 3.2.3, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.1 (Mandrakelinux 10.1 3.4.1-4mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8.1-10mdk

As title says. Like any KDE app, it would be nice to be able to hide the menu bar with the standard shortcut Ctrl-M.
This would be especially useful for people with small sized screens.

As a side note, I wonder why this ability couldn't be integrated into KDE's "menu bar" component... I mean, it would make more sense if there was a global shortcut to hide/show the menu bar of *any* KDE app ?
Comment 2 Mattias Nilsson 2005-11-07 22:45:39 UTC 
It would be really sweet to have an option in the control center to enable "amiga style" menus. What I mean is menus that are hidden by default (freeing up valuable screen space) and shown on top of the windows' titlebar once the titlebar is pressed with the right mouse button (or perhaps that could be configurable).
I guess it's hard to see the beauty of this method for anyone not used to workbench.. :)

Also wondering about what #1 and partialy #2 says, why not a global Show/Hide menubar that can be set on and off on all KDE applications?

This wish could be marked as dup of bug #168070 (global hide/show menubar)

Do you agree?
Comment 6 Javier 2009-09-01 13:04:11 UTC 
I think so, as having a global action would resolve the wish
