I created in .config/geany/plugins/geanylua a new document show_menubar.lua
with this content: geany.signal("hbox_menubar", "show"). I changed in the

wanted to run show_menubar.lua by typing

On my computer, the menubar disappears immediately, in its entirety. It might
be a window manager issue with compositing or the GPU.

OK, I created in "~/.config/geany/plugins/geanylua" a document/script that I
called "hide_menu.lua". The content of this document/script is
"geany.signal("hbox_menubar", "hide")". Then I start Geany. I go to "Tools>Lua
Script>Hidemenu". The words of the menu bar disappear right away. But
@ralf3u The command to hide the menu bar is `geany.signal("hbox_menubar",
"hide")`.
I made a mistake pasting the link earlier... my scripts are here:

@xiota OK, "Lua Script" plugin is enabled, and I created the folder "geanylua"
in "~/.config/geany/plugins". But I don't know how to program a script. So my
two questions:
1 What is the document name (I can imagine that it has to end with ".lua")?
2 What is the content of the script to hide the
@falf3u If the "Lua Script" plugin is enabled and
`~/.config/geany/plugins/geanylua` doesn't exist, just create the folder and
copy the scripts you want to use there. Then restart Geany. There should be a
new menu item: "Tools/Lua Scripts" with the scripts listed.

I use Geany 1.37.1. I installed geany plugins already. In Lubuntu in
~/.config/geany/plugins/ there is only one file called "spellcheck". Even if I
activate in the plugins the checkbox "Lua Script" and after restarting Geany
there is only one file called "spellcheck".
>The script
@ralf3u The package you need to install is `geany-plugin-lua`. Or you can
install all the plugins with `geany-plugins`. Then in Geany, enable the plugin
named "Lua Script". Scripts are installed at
`~/.config/geany/plugins/geanylua`. Go to

I used to hide the menubar with the geanypy plugin... then when that stopped

didn't need it anymore because I started using global menus. Recently, I found
that old lua script still in the geany config folder. For

Clearly nobody has wanted it enough to make a pull request.

To hide/show the menu bar takes ALWAYS a lot of time:
- close Geany
- type in the terminal of Lubuntu: sudo featherpad /usr/share/geany/geany.glade
- search for: hbox_menubar
- in the next line: change True to False or vice versa
- save the document
- close Featherpad
- open Geany
Suggestion:
@vineeshvs try running Geany from the terminal like `UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 geany`,
it should disable Ubuntu's menu-hijacking.

@elextr Sorry for that. I posted because one of the previous posts went like
this. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.

@vineeshvs please do not hijack other issues for your problems. This is not
about invisible menus, it is an enhancement request to add the capability to
hide the menu.
To repeat the point I made above, Geany does not hide menus, something in your
system is doing that, and its not a Geany
Tried the above solutions. Still the menu bar is invisible!!

Maybe we are misunderstanding, but I would have thought the casual/accidental
keybinding user was the one that needed the reminder.

You think? If the user "frequently" toggles the menubar, it'll be annoying,
and if it's a casual thing, it's just as easy to forget.

But should probably have an "are you sure" dialog, keybindings get hit
accidently.

Looks like problem of unity-gtk*-module, which I installed just from
curiousity.
When I revmoved it, menu stopped disappearing. (I'm running Gnome on Opensuse).

As a workaround for this issue, I have a [Toggle Bars
plugin](https://github.com/vfaronov/geany-togglebars) that hides the menu and
status bars initially but allows toggling them with a keybinding.

To be clear, Geany just uses the standard GTK 2 library calls to draw the
menus. In the normal GTK library that displays at the top of the application
window,
Ok,
Thought it was a Geany bug, as other apps display that menu correctly.
It was working correctly on Ubuntu 14.04 geany 1.23 though.
I wonder if Ubuntu has changed the way to deal with that.
BTW my system config in All Settings -> Appearance -> Behaviour:

@peterrobles unfortunately that menu is entirely done by Unity and Ubuntu's own
hacks, Geany does not hide the menu, as you can see from the discussion above.
So you would be better off asking on a Ubuntu forum.

Hi,
Recently I lost the menu bar.
Can't get it back. Already tried purging package, removing local config from
~/.config/geany with no luck.
Gerany 1.27 on Ubuntu 16.04
Any ideas?
