--- Comment #3 from Uncombed5936 <meso5 at gmx.com> ---
With the standard menu/toolbar set-up, the hidden state of the menu bar is not
remembered between sessions. The menu bar reappears on start-up. 

I suggested that keeping the menu bar hidden would be an option -- not all
users have to agree either way.  

I don't see how the Alt method interferes with other functions or
accessibility. Alt unhides temporarily the menu bar in Firefox, Thunderbird,
notepad++ etc when it's not combined with another key. You just press Alt and
release. That's why I said "quick-pressing just 'Alt'". That doesn't interfere
with Alt+key combinations. It is a very efficient and increasingly common way
to reveal the menu bar, and keep it hidden to declutter when the bar is not
needed. If I have to press F10, I might as well click on the menu button on the
toolbar. 

Or Alt vs F10 vs whatever else could be configurable. 

But a hamburger button showing the menus vertically could be another or a
better idea. I don't see why we couldn't have a button like this that we could
add to the standard toolbar and optionally make the menu bar hidden by default
in all layouts. If I could have all menus in a standard toolbar button, I would
never switch on the menu toolbar again, which would save me some vertical space
permanently and the environment would look cleaner too.
