> A View menu option with a warning and a keyboard shorcut, or/and an informed preference setting with reference in the manual or the faq or even an unsetted keyboard shorcut option would be amazing.
@asoymos It's been a while since I looked at that patch, but everything you mention is in that patch except for the menu option. A major sticking point with core devs is the menu state when Geany is restarted. They seemed to want the option to keep the menu hidden to be removed, which in my opinion, defeats the purpose of having the option to hide the menu in the first place.

One of the things I like more about open source is the simplicity needed for maintain something without income for a long period of time. That for me means that you can´t think of all use cases but that you share your own and leave it open to others to contribute if needed. I read [#2972](https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/2972) and for me everything that needs to be said had been. A View menu option with a warning and a keyboard shorcut, or/and an informed preference setting with reference in the manual or the faq or even an unsetted keyboard shorcut option would be amazing. Again, in my opinion. Thanks anyway.

@asoymos
It is not true that no one ever made a pull request to include the feature. See #2972 and geany/geany-plugins#1138.
Core Geany devs appear to simply not want menubar hiding to be included in Geany.

An informed preference with keyboard shorcut would be great for both prevent accidents and extend customizability in my opinion. Just my two cents.

Not true. I did (#2972). There was no agreement on details of operation. So I closed it, and moved functionality to a proposed new plugin (geany/geany-plugins/#1138). It sat around with no sign of interest. So I closed it.

From various discussions over years most of the Geany devs are not in favour of menu hiding mostly because of the "hidden by accident and can't find how to get it back" and the "not everything can be performed from the keyboard" problems. So they are not going to make a PR, and nobody else has.

Just to give some examples Thunar uses ctrl+m to hide menu bar, cherrytree F12, gimp has an option in preferences to use it as context menu. Even a various preference like the scroll bar would suffice. The lua plugin seem unmaintained.

The lua script solve the issue. But I would like to ask how the developers think about this now. Love Geany good 'old open source simplicity and customizability but this only issue prevented me of this discovery for years passing from one text editor to the next. Less distraction is esencial for me.

Geany version: 1.36
Gtk version 2.24.32
Glib version 2.60.6
Platform: Windows 10
Geany installed into: c:/Program Files (x86)/Geany/data
Interface language: Geman
What I did to set the cursor colour:
Using the Geany menu Werkzeuge/Konfigurationsdateien, I selected filetypes.common.
I located all lines starting with
`caret=`
I changed the first one to
`caret=0x3C3505;;true`
and I commented out the second one using a `#`, to make sure that these settings don't interfere.
`#caret=0x000000;0x000000;false;`
Using the menu Datei/Eigenschaften, I verified that the modifed filetypes.common refers to
`C:\Users\fisrona\AppData\Roaming\geany\filedefs\filetypes.common`
I terminated Geany and verified, that this file indeed contains my modifications.
I started Geany again, but the cursor colour is still black.
Of course there is still the original definition file in the installation directory,
`C:\Program Files (x86)\Geany\data\filedefs\filetypes.common`.
My guess is that Geany, erroneously, does not pick up the settings from my custom filetypes.common, but always the defaults from its installation directory. I don't want to edit the settings in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Geany`, because they would be overwritten everytime I update Geany to a new version.
