How to hide/unhide menubar of file manager PCmanFM with the Alt key?
In Windows Explore I have option to toggle menubar by using ALT key. Can I do it in PCmanFM? I'm willing to try coding stuff (for a bit).
Update information ::
I'm using Lubuntu 18.04 LTS at the moment.
As for now, I would like to feature @guiverc answer because:
- It seems like there isn't toggle feature for PCmanFM in 18.04
- @guiverc answer provide quite lot information that could be useful for other questioner and future reference.

Sorry I don't know what you mean by toggle-menubar, but if I hit ALT+E I get the Edit menu opened so I can use the keyboard to pick an item. Likewise I can hit ALT+F for File, Alt+V for View etc... I'm running 19.04 so i tested this usingpcmanfm-qtbut I'd expect it to be the same

thanks @DKBose (didn't know that). A quick look shows ^M (ctrl+M) on mypcmanfm-qtwill toggle the menu bar being visible/invisible (but when invisible the alt+F/E I described before isn't working for me). It's possibly not an ideal solution, but it may be a little way there.

I think that Ctrl+M on pcmanfm-qt, checked in Lubuntu 18.10, is exactly what the poster wants!

Sorry I wasn't sure what you (original poster) was meant by toggle-menubar, so firstly though using Alt+E I get the Edit menu opened so you can use the keyboard to pick an item. Likewise using Alt+F for File, Alt+V for View etc... I tested this on 19.04's pcmanfm-qt as it was what I'm running at the time
@DKBose however felt you were after the means to toggle the menu being visible (using Firefox as an example. A quick look in the shows View->Toolbar->MenuVar shows the 'menu' can be enabled/disabled (or visible/invisible) using a checkbox or ^M (Ctrl+M) on my pcmanfm-qt (DKBase confirmed it was the same in 18.10; I can check 18.04 later today using pcmanfm but I'd expect it to be).
A quick play whilst invisible showed that Alt+E didn't pull up the Edit menu as I expected (likewise other Alt+menu-entries) until the toolbar was turned back on (or enabled) which may not be an ideal solution, but it's mostly there. (my testing was limited; it was right before I went to bed...) It was not difficult though to just ^M first then use ^V to use the view menu option.
