Hide Eclipse Menu Bar (auto-hide)

I'm trying to hide Eclipse menu bar to save some screen real estate. I found I can do this using perspectives but that would permanently take out the menu from that perspective. The behavior that I want to get is something along of auto-hide, so that the menu remains hidden until I hit ALT+F for example or any other ALT key combo.

Is there's a setting or a plugin that can do this?

Thanks!

This is just a work around. Create two perspectives.

First one named - With Menu.

Second one named - Without Menu.

In the "Without Menu" perspective remove all menu items and Save.

To create the effect of hiding and showing, switch between perspectives by using

Ctrl+F8.

Theres a fast view option- just right click the tab and select Fast View. It'll bring the entire window down to the eclipse taskbar. You can recover the window by just clicking on it's icon.

Have a look here Is there a Macro Recorder for Eclipse? You could set up the macro so respond to ALT+F possibly.
