Hi, when you are not in focus mode does Alt gives access to the menu? If not, then focus mode is not really the culprit here. Do you have native window decorations enabled or disabled? If they are disabled, when you toggle focus mode, at the top right of the titlebar should be two icons: toggle focus mode and the hamburger menu. The hamburger menu icon gives access to Komodo's menu. If you have native window decorations enabled, you'll have to do "View > Toolbars > Show Menubar" before entering focus mode. Then your menubar should always be visible.

This is actually a good point IMO and it could be resolved by merging this PR:
#868

So you'll have your menu in Unity statusbar.

Hi,
i forgot that i have enabled native window borders option.

If you have native window decorations enabled, you'll have to do "View > Toolbars > Show Menubar" before entering focus mode. Then your menubar should always be visible.

Yes, for now this is the only option (if you know that you have to enable menubar before enable focus mode).

Previews:
Focus mode off

Focus mode on

After press alt key on focus mode

Yeah, it's an unfortunate workaround for now until we address #868, which appears to be back on the table. I'm going to close this ticket in favor of #868.
