Here a step-by-step description how to make it that one can toggle show/hide menu-bar with one shortcut, what can be realized in about 5 minutes:

in the terminal: sudo apt install geany-plugins
in Geany: go in the menu-bar, click on Tools and click on Plugin Manager
there activate Lua Script
close the Plugin-Window
create in the filemanager in .config/geany/plugins the folder geanylua if no geanylua-folder exits
create in the filemanager in .config/geany/plugins/geanylua the folder events
visit https://github.com/xiota/geanylua-scripts/blob/main/toggle-menu/toggle-menu.lua
click on Raw
copy the entire code with ctrl+A and ctrl+C
paste it in the editor and save it with the name toggle-menu.lua in .config/geany/plugins/geanylua
visit https://github.com/xiota/geanylua-scripts/blob/main/toggle-menu/hotkeys.cfg
click on Raw
copy the entire code with ctrl+A and ctrl+C
paste it in the editor and save it with the name hotkeys.cfg in .config/geany/plugins/geanylua
visit https://github.com/xiota/geanylua-scripts/blob/main/toggle-menu/events/cleanup.lua
click on Raw
copy the entire code with ctrl+A and ctrl+C
paste the content in the editor and save it with the name cleanup.lua in .config/geany/plugins/geanylua/events
visit https://github.com/xiota/geanylua-scripts/blob/main/toggle-menu/events/init.lua
click on Raw
copy the entire code with ctrl+A and ctrl+C
paste the content in the editor and save it with the name init.lua in .config/geany/plugins/geanylua/events
in the menu-bar in Edit click on Preferences; click on Keybindings; in the column Action, in Lua Script (should be somewhere at the end of the list; if it is not in the list, then Geany need to be closed and restarted), mark Toggle menu; click on the marked line in the column Shortcut; type for example F12; press enter, click on Apply and OK

Now after every restart, the menu-bar will not be there any more. In this example one can toggle show/hide menu-bar with the shortcut F12. If you want that after every restart of Geany the menu-bar is visible at the beginning, then change in the document init.lua the line start_action = "hide" to start_action = "show". Close Geany and then restart Geany.
