Main Menu not showing
Answered
Hi everyone, sorry for asking such a silly question here. I have been using the IDEs from Jetbrains for awhile now, but recently, I can't remember what I pressed or did, but the main menu seems to have disappeared. How do I make the menu reappear again? It's also happening to my other Jetbrains IDEs

I have exactly the same issue with appcode!
Also the same problem.
Looks like we already have this issue in our tracker - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JRE-434. Please update the OS to macOS 10.13.2 beta, it should solve the issue. Or you can try the workaround suggested in the mentioned YouTrack ticket.
I had the same issue with intelliJ 2019.2 in windows 10 and to fiw this I had to open the file "c:\Users\[theUser]\.IntelliJIdea2019.2\config\options\ui.lnf.xml" and set the option entry SHOW_MAIN_MENU to true and it fixed my problem!
I had a similar problem, I hid the main menu from "View > Appearance > Main Menu" and couldn't restore it. I managed to restore it by following these steps:
Typing the keyboard shortcut now restored the main menu.
This is actually super simple! Click on the search icon (magnifying glass) in the top righthand corner under the X icon. In the search bar, type the word "menu" (no quotes when actually typing it). You should see this result come up:
View | Appearance: Main Menu
And then just click the toggle to change it from "Off" to "On"
That should do the trick!
1. Press: Ctrl + Shift + A

2. Select: Actions
3 Type: main menu

same problem on ubuntu, double Shift or Ctrl + Shift + A didn't work for me. Trick with "menu" in search didn't work too.
But ctrl + alt + S is open settings and you can create what you need in keymap
Alex, You are genius!!!
On Ubuntu, any proposed solution here doesn't work for me:
This problem affects to any installed ide: phpstorm, intellj idea and so on.
On startup, the menu appears but in a while it disappears.
Recently updated all ides.
Jetbrains roadmap xD
Maybe you want to try this way
Help -> Find Action ->Reset(write) -> Restore Default Settings
The same issue on Ubuntu with the versions 2022.3.3 and 2023.1 - the main menu just dissapeared by pressing incidently an uknown combination of keymap/clicks, and I'm not able to restore it. Nothing helps. 'Restore defailt settings' doesn't actually restore it. There is no such setting in the appearance 'View | Appearance: Main Menu' (in the old UI at least). The only thing I could apply is specifying a keymap to show the menu, which is not convinient.
How the menu can be restored in the recent versions?
I am installing a new system and have the same problem with PHPStorm 2022.3 under Ubuntu 22.04 / gnome-flashback:
The main menu is no longer visible. It can be switched on with the above trick, but it appears in the panel and not permanently within the app. Every time a dialogue window is opened, it closes again.
If I start the normal Ubuntu, however, everything is OK again and the menu appears in the usual place.
The cause under gnome-flashback is the "Indicator Applet", which contains the application menus. If this is removed from the active applets of the panel, everything runs as usual again.
thanks @A Github,
I installed ClassicMenu-Indikator and it worked. But the strange thing was that ony DataGrip had this issue :D
I could see after try this option:-
