How do I get my menu bar back in Sublime Text 3 Linux?

Solution 1:

See Show Menu in Sublime:

Ctrl+Shift+p then type vmen

I have yet to figure out how to make it a key binding. Will update when/if I do.

Edit: see jeremija's answer below to see how to set a hotkey.

Solution 2:

If you wish to add a hotkey you can edit your Default (Linux).sublime-keymap file:

• press CTRL+SHIFT+P
• typing key bindings user
• select Preferences: Key Bindings - User

This should open the Default (Linux).sublime-keymap file. Add this line:

{"keys": ["ctrl+alt+m"], "command": "toggle_menu"}

If your .sublime-keymap file was empty, you should wrap the above in JSON array brackets [ and ], like so:

[
    {"keys": ["ctrl+alt+m"], "command": "toggle_menu"}
]

After you save the file, Sublime should reload the hotkey bindings automatically and you should be able to use the CTRL+ALT+M hotkey to toggle the menu bar.

I still miss the ability to show the menu just by pressing ALT+LETTER to open the specific menu automatically, but this (along with the Command Palette) helps a lot.

Solution 3:

You can simply press "alt+v" ,you will see menu bar then click "show menubar".
