From #2962 This allows all the shortcuts to still work, and the menu bar can be un-hidden with the alt key.
Seems like a good compromise: PRed as #2975 |

From element-hq#2962 This allows all the shortcuts to still work, and the menu bar can be un-hidden with the alt key.
Unfortunately, using just Alt for menu is quite bad idea because it's common to switch input layouts using Alt+Shift. So every time people switch input layout the focus jumps from chat window to menu. |

I played a bit with the riot desktop version, so I examined the menu on the top.
After some reasoning I come to the conclusion that the menu is only usefull for people developinng riot, normal user might more be confused by it.
I took a look at what can be easily changed and found a config parameter for the electron-BrowserWindow. I like it, pressing the "Alt" key toggles the menu, so it is still available.
Riot reads in a Preferences file so maybe it could be made a setting but I haven't had a look yet how that gets read in.
Here's the small patch in case somebody else has the same impression.
