How to show gnome-terminal menubar?

Right click anywhere inside the terminal, and you'll get a similar pop up menu that lets you reenable it.

alt text


If you're running an application like vi you won't get this menu. In that case exit or suspend the application first, then it should work. (I.e. ^Z (control-Z) to suspend, then right click to get this menu, and select Show MenuBar, then finally enter % and ↵ Enter to resume.)


You can also make it via terminal command line:

gnome-terminal  --show-menubar

If you read the man gnome-terminal you can find this:

  --show-menubar
                 Turn  on  the menu bar for the last-specified window; applies
                 to only one window; can be specified once for each window you
                 create from the command line.
