--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
Visibility of the Main menubar depends on the UI selected. And the .uno:Menubar
action is available to assign by 'Customize...' dialog to any menu, keyboard
shortcut, toolbar button, context menu, or even its Notebookbar checkbox
toggle.

Several of the MUFFIN assemblages have the Main menubar disabled by default,
though our default/legacy "Menu & Toolbar w/Sidebar deck" UI mode simply has it
enabled by default.

One suggestion in bug 90195 and bug 107343 is to overload the <F10> main menu
focus necessary for accessibility (where F10 and F6 movements are reserved).

Conversely the <Alt> visibility toggle destroys keyboard navigation, so while
considered (during bug 90195 workup) it was not really pursued as it would have
broken keyboard navigation and accessibility.

That has not really changed, the <Alt> toggle remains not really appropriate to
the UI for all users.

What would be useful, would be persistence per module recorded to user profile,
setting the main menubar visibility status. So that once user configures
visibility of the main menu in a module, setting remains like on subsequent
launches.

The visible/hidden toggle should be oveloaded onto the <F10> by default as per
bug 107343, with user choice to customize any additional controls for the UNO
toggle.

Leave the <Alt> behavior alone, where it already appropriately controls toggle
of mnemonic key accelerators. And is a clear => WF to toggle visibility of the
main menubar.
