Yeah, the autohide until mouse-over is a simple solution, but it is
kinda jumpy whenever I go to my MATE system tray and cross over the
menu area. I could make it wait longer before opening, but then
that would feel clunky. Right now, it expands for a few seconds
until a menu is clicked, then keeps it open until the menu has been
exited. The other problem is the toolbar which I put inline with
the menus doesn't stay visible long enough to use.<br>

We should put in core geany or a plugin the ability to move the menu
to the toolbar in a single icon like Chrome, instead or in addition
to the existing functionality to move the toolbar to the menubar.
However, that solution doesn't reduce the valuable vertical real
estate. Darn wide screens nowadays ;-)<br>

My temporary solution was to

write a plugin that hides the menu bar until mouse over, like
the Start
<br>
bar used to be configurable in Windows. I haven't had a chance
to
<br>
update all of my plugins to the latest geany, but if you care to
look at
<br>
the plugin, you can see it here

Alternatively, I thought the best idea would be a single icon,
like
<br>
chrome's menu icon. The problem is finding a place for it that
doesn't
<br>
occupy an entire row or column of screen space.

When I implemented this in Mousepad, I just had it add a menu item
to the right-click menu to allow turning it back on whenever the
menu bar was hidden. The auto hide/show seems also like a good
idea.
