Hide application menu from Gnome Shell

Question

Is it possible to hide application's menu like in unity. Firefox already hide its menu, and allow accessing it by clicking ALT button.

I'm using GNOME Shell 3.14.4.

Answer 1

If you are using the Terminal application you can simply

• Select View and deselect Show Menubar.

to restore it later you can right click on the Terminal and choose select Show Menubar .

If you want to associate this action with a keyboard shortcuts (I see difficult to associate it only to Alt, but for sure you can pick another combination of keys) you can set it up following [2]

• Open the Activities overview and start typing Keyboard.
• Click on Keyboard to open the panel.
• Select the Shortcuts tab.
• Select a category in the left pane, and the row for the desired action on the right. The current shortcut definition will change to New accelerator…
• Hold down the desired key combination, or press Backspace to clear.
