That's true, since that *is* a Bookmarks bar menu item, after all. But still, whenever I want the tab bar back, I always find myself just *wishing* I could get it back via the same way I made it disappear. And while this isn't really problematic for me at all, it would still just be convenient, if it could be implemented properly. Though, that's not to say I'm actually suggesting it should, but I'm just saying it would feel a lot more natural.
I'm a person that, when using the computer, prefers to primarily make use of one input device at a time (I hate alternating). When using Chrome exclusively with the keyboard, being able to hit Ctrl+B works absolutely fine. However, when I'm in "mouse-only" mode, I make very heavy use of Chrome's right-click context menus. And since the Bookmarks bar and the Tab bar both span the width of the browser, and allow me to right-click anywhere on them, this makes using Chrome very transparent and natural - I don't even have to really think about it. But, the *only* issue I have -- which is why I made this topic -- is with bringing the tab bar back. It takes me out of my mental mode, and I either have to shift to the keyboard to use the Ctrl+B shortcut, or hunt-down the Wrench menu (which I never use except for going to Options), and enable it from there. Again, this isn't really too bad at all, but I just feel that something is a little off. If that makes any sense.
