--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <[email protected]> ---
You aren't the first person to think of some kind of global "how I want my
menus shown" setting, but the challenge is that today every app supports
different things:
- No menus at all (many simple GNOME apps and some simple mobile-focused KDE
apps)
- Only a hardcoded hamburger menu button (many GNOME apps)
- Only a conditionally-visible hamburger menu button (some small KDE apps)
- An in-window menubar that is not compatible with the global menu feature (all
Electron apps)
- An in-window menubar that is not compatible with the global menu feature, and
a hardcoded hamburger menu (Firefox)
- An in-window menu that is compatible with the global menu feature (most
QtWidgets-based KDE apps)
- An in-window menu that is compatible with the global menu feature, plus a
hardcoded hamburger menu button (Chromium/Chrome)
- An in-window menu that is compatible with the global menu feature, plus a
conditionally-visible hamburger menu button (some newer or more recently
modernized QtWidgets-based KDE apps)

In such a heterogenous, nonstandardized environment, it's hard to make promises
because almost everything will be a lie, or need enough qualifiers documented
that the feature feels super buggy and broken.

As such, I think we have to shelve the idea for now. So let's re-focus on any
small, actionable menu-related bugs you may be encountering. Can you open new
bug reports for those — one per affected app. Thanks!
