When I click on the Preferences clogwheel icon and hit the "Alt" button, I don't get lots of hidden stuff. I can only select/deselct which toolbars I want to display. But I assume you meant something else ?
Yeah, the hidden FILE menu has nothing to do with the gear button, it's not contained there.
Just meant:
when the menu bar is hidden,
ALT+F will open the hidden FILE menu.
(and ALT+E the Edit menu, and ALT+S the Sessions menu, and ALT+V the View menu, etc.)
Sorry, I don't have much experience with hidden menubars, since mine is always kept visible. Always thought ALT alone were enough to show the whole menu bar, but meanwhile noticed, obviously not in all KM-versions.
Background info:
There's a checkbox in F2>GUI to "Display keyboard accelerators in menus"
No idea if that's on or off by default, but if checked this will show single underlined characters in most menu lines. Those characters are keyboard shortcuts, an alternative to clicking that line with the mouse. Some people can navigate faster in submenus by typing that underlined character on the keyboard instead.
The ALT-key is ONLY needed when no menu is visible yet. When you already see a menu and the underlined characters, hitting the specific key alone is enough, no Alt needed anymore.
Important: the chosen characters are language dependant!
English: ALT+F (open
File menu)
German: ALT+D (file menu is
Datei in german)
etc.
