How to hide Qtcreator's top menu ?

[Pete Carter]

I wanna hide the Qtcreator's top menu

I searched in the preferences but couldn't find any option to do so, Any ideas ?

At the moment it is not possible. I've created https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-29498 to track this.

Score another reason for using Qt on the Mac:
No top menu visible there when you put Qt Creator in fullscreen mode :-)
(Only downside is that terrible screen jerking when you hit Preferences and have the Text Editor pane active.)

@cristian-adam It is expected to be toggled using the Alt key

I've updated the bug report with a screencast of vscode, which does many things.

I think having Alt showing the menu is distracting and looking at https://superuser.com/questions/309005/disable-the-activation-of-the-menu-bar-when-alt-is-pressed-in-windows-7 it seems people hate the fature.

I think that's why vscode at first uses a hamburger menu and afterwards does the show / hide thing via Alt.

bro,I don't know what I used to make the top menu bar disappear. Do you have a way to make it reappear.

[cristian-adam]

You can make it reappear by using Ctrl + Alt + M. See https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-how-to-show-and-hide-main-menu.html
