Not sure what's going on (probably the shortcut clashing with something else), but I've managed to trigger it like this: hold right ctrl, hold right alt, press m. If nothing happens release m and alt but keep ctrl holding and try again alt then m till it works. It sounds weird, but after few cycles it worked for me. I'm guessing it has something to do with alt moving focus to menus or to an area that doesn't have the shortcut clashing.

If you don't manage to do it you can edit or just delete the settings file. You haven't said which platform you're on, but on Windows it's %appdata%\QtProject\QtCreator.ini.

See https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-30114

I never was able to reproduce the bug. Ctrl+Alt+M always worked.

But you are not the first person that has the issue, would be great if you would paste in the bug report the content from Help > System Information....

In order to fix this issue, you have two options:

Press Ctrl+Shift+K and select the Show menu bar action.
Go to "%appdata%\QtProject\QtCreator.ini" and delete the MenubarVisible=false entry
