Bug ID: 164349
Summary: Hide/unhide or eliminate the menu toolbar
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
LO could use screen space more efficiently, which is a major concern to many of
us, especially when using small screens or prefer a more focused writing
environment.
At the moment, the menu bar can be toggled on/off through an optional toolbar
button. Annoyingly, when you restart LO the menu bar is always visible
(possibly, in case users lose it and panic).
It would be better if (a) there was an option to make the menu bar invisible on
start by default (b) we were able to toggle it on by quick-pressing just 'Alt'
as it is common in many applications (eg Firefox, Thunderbird, notepad++) (c)
we could optionally reduce the menus to a hamburger button with menus dropping
vertically, making the menu bar redundant.
These would save valuable vertical space by removing the menu bar permanently
or most of the time, decluttering the screen.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a toolbar button for the 'menu toolbar'
2. Hide the menu toolbar
3. Restart LO
Actual Results:
The menu toolbar is visible on restart. The only way to hide it again is to
click on the menu button.
Expected Results:
The menu toolbar should remain invisible until I pressed 'Alt'.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
A hamburger button revealing vertically the complete menu structure would make
the menu toolbar and the above 'Alt' mechanism optionally redundant.
