I would like a way to hide the Menu bar in VLC player. Currently, the only way is with [CTRL][H], but this isn't what I want because that also hides the media controls at the bottom.
I want to only hide the menu bar. This is a feature in MPC-HC that I've used for years as well as in many other apps like VS Code, Sublime Text, Chrome, Signal, Windows File Explorer, etc.
In these apps, you can use the [ALT] key to get the Menu bar to show up. That way, it's only visible when you need it.
