Description Gayan Perera CLA 2020-08-15 14:34:19 EDT 
Provide support to hide the main menu bar. This will give more space and nice zen mode feeling to eclipse ide. We could also implement a key binding to toggle the menu bar when needed.

I'm not sure how easily doable this would be, but I'd be +1 for this (even though I'm not sure how often I'd use it).

This should be as simple as toggling the visibility attribute of the main-menu. Toggling it with the model-spy shows that it doesn't propagate there, marking changing the toBeRendered flag does hide the main-menu bar.

The main-menu is still constructed using the E3 API, so I expect that changing the visibility using that API should work easy. All is needed is a handler, menu and shortcuts to toggle it.
