I've been using Global Menu for a while, but since it is less and less supported, I've finally removed the widget. (c.im)

@kde I've been using Global Menu for a while, but since it is less and less supported, I've finally removed the widget.

However, I did not get the local menu back! Now all my KDE apps have no menu at all.

I thought that restarting the session would fix it, but it did not help. Anybody has any hint on how to fix this?

@carl @kde no I'm on a recently updated kde neon. But my config files have been transferred from one install to the other for many years.

What is maybe special, is that I remove two global menu widgets in one go, as I have two screens.

Anyways, sounds like it is time for a big grep exploration!

@carl @kde Oh LOL, do I need to change all of them manually?

@pretzel6666 @kde Just use sed ;)

find ~/.config -iname '*rc' -exec sed -i '/Menubar=/d' {} \;

This should work but you might want to execute the sed command on one file first before running it everywhere as I am on my phone and didn't test it 😅

@carl @kde No worry, I had already done something similar, however but it does not seem to have worked… I'll try google some more.

@carl @kde It looks like I have to typer ctrl-shift-m in every single app I want the menu back! But at least it is working

That line of bash is so beautiful 😍
