Show Menubar in File Manager - XUbuntu

5,267

I had a look on Thunar (default file-manager on XFCE) and it reports ^M (ctrl+M) will display/hide the menu bar.

I had it visible so could look thru my menus, but if I didn't I'd have tried to hit ALT+V in hopes it'd show the VIEW menu (or ALT+F to show FILE menu). It won't work in every program, desktop or place, but works for many.

    I accidentally unchecked View -> Show Menubar which hides the menubar in File Manager, and there doesn't appear to be a keyboard shortcut to show the menubar again. How can I go back and make it appear?

      Maybe try ALT-V to pull up 'view' on the menu. I had a look on Thunar (default file-manager on XFCE) and it reports ^M (ctrl+M) will return the menubar
