Atom menu is missing. How do I re-enable

Question

The menu in Atom text editor is gone. I dont know how I disabled it. I tried F1-12 keys. How do I re enable it? Here's how it's looking now:

Answer 1

I had the same issue and Alt did not work for me. If you go into the config (mine was in users/{user_name}/.atom/config.cson), you will see a line for hidden tool bar, remove that line and restart Atom.

There is probably a value you can set it to besides "hidden" but I did not figure it out

Answer 2

Get cursor on top, where white header with file name, then press Alt. To set top menu by default always visible. You needed in top menu selected: FILE -> Config... -> autoHideMenuBar: true (change it to autoHideMenuBar: false) Save it.

Answer 3

Open atom editor and then press Alt and menu bar will appear. Now click on View tab and then click on Toggle Menu Bar as seen on this screenshot.

Answer 4

CONTROL + SHIFT + P and execute command "Tree View: Show"

Answer 5

Temporarily show Menu Bar on ATOM:

Press ALT Key to make the Menu bar appear but it is not permanent.

Always display the Menu Bar on ATOM:

To make the change permanent, press ALT + V and then select Toggle Menu Bar option from the "View" drop-down down.

[Tested on ATOM running on Ubuntu 16.04]

Answer 6

Press Alt + v and select Toggle menu bar option.

Answer 7

Open Atom and press ALT key you are done.

Answer 8

Same happened to me, I had to go into Packages and re-enable Tabs and Tree-View (both part of core).
