How do I toggle an application's menu?

Question

is it possible to toggle (show/hide) the appmenu ? I've disabled the globalmenu, because i don't like the behavior.

Other than reinstalling the global menubar, each program you use has it's own settings for their menus (the "app menus").

Terminal
Right click and de-select "Show Menubar"

enter image description here

FireFox
Go to ▸ View ▸ Toolbars ▸ Menu Bar

enter image description here

VLC
Right click ▸ View ▸ Minimal Interface

Nautilus (File manager) Not possible in current versions.

There is a workaround. Switch on global menu feature back. And then you can run any program not using global menu, for instance:

UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 inkscape
