Missing menu in Kate

It's a rather simple problem, but I can't find the solution:

The menu bar in Kate (File, Edit, ...) has disappeared, and I tried looking up in the katerc file. How can I restore it?

Solution 1:

Had the same problem... and CTRL+M also solved it for me. I never actively hide my menus, so arriving at this solution was not intuitive. No idea what (bug?) caused the sudden disappearance of the menu.

Solution 2:

Came across this same bug this week. Unfortunately I had [Ctrl] + [M] mapped to something else. My solution was to find the file .katerc (in ~/.config on my Kubuntu machine), and change the line

Show Menu Bar=false to Show Menu Bar=true

and

MenuBar=Disabled to MenuBar=Enabled

I closed all my open kate windows, restarted, and my menu bar was back.
