[SOLVED] How to show the menu back?

#1

I’m using Sublime Text 2 (registered! :smile:) and I clicked “Hide menu” to have a better “Full screen” view.

But now I can’t bring it back :unamused:

Hovering the top of the program won’t show the menu like it does in Mac OX.

Is there a way or a shortcut to bring it back?

Thanks!

Pressing the “alt” key should show the menu for you. This is reasonably standard behaviour in applications that allow menu hiding…

Not standard for me (not a windows user). I didn’t mean that it was a Sublime problem, just wondering how to bring it back.

Thanks!

Hi, to show the menu back, do the following:

  1. Close sublime text
  2. Go to /home/-user-/.config/sublime-text-version-/Local/
  3. gedit Session.sublime_session
  4. Look for the last line with “menu_visible”:false,
  5. Switch to true
  6. Save the file
  7. Reopen sublime text

Bye

The easiest way, which works on all platforms, is to use the command pallete: on Windows ctrl+shift+p followed by ‘vmen’ (short for View Menu).

pressing the ‘alt’ key would only show the menu for menu selection , as soon as we start editing in editor it would vanish, therefore after pressing the alt key you need to go to view again and there press ‘show menu’, this will ensure every time you start sublime , it show you menu.

If you’re having this problem, it might be the theme you’re using:

  1. Press ctrl+shift+P to bring up the command selector
  2. Type “theme” and select “UI: Select Theme”
  3. Try a different theme to the one you’re using.

I had to select “Default Dark.sublime-theme” to get set it back to what I had wanted.

If you’re in ST4, the hamburger menu is controlled by this setting:

	// Adaptive theme only: controls if a custom or default title bar is used.
	// Note that on Windows, the hamburger menu is used whenever this is
	// enabled and the adaptive theme is in use.
	"themed_title_bar": true,

That is, if you use Adaptive and you want the menu, you can continue to use that theme and just turn the setting off. Other themes don’t support this setting out of the box and so switching the theme will also return the menu.

Note also that some older themes have rules for styled title bars which prior to ST4 would only have had any effect on MacOS; now that ST4 also supports this on other platforms, using an older theme could hide the menu unintentionally, in which case the solution is to either switch your theme or ask the author to update it to properly support the setting.
