Make Show Menu Bar right-click menu interactive

Post by daniel_m »

Maybe I failed to find the corresponding option, but the Show Menu Bar button right-click menu does not expand menu entries on mouse hovering. Instead, a menu entry like "View" has to be clicked first to reveal what sub-entries it has.
Btw., I am an old user who likes the clean look and additional handful of pixels for the tree and list views :biggrin:

I'd love to do that but it's technically tricky. I'm working on it.

Oh, I see. Maybe something like the Firefox approach would be less difficult to implement? They show arrows for expandable menus and open sub-menus in place of the main menu, with an option to return to the main menu on top.

I'll find a way, but it doesn't have the top priority on my todo list.

Totally understandable and good prioritisation, actually :)
