          @sdetweil It used to pop down the browser’s menu. With a File, Tools, etc. I could get it to show developer mode from that menu, and more.

            @Fifteen15Studios I guess electron must have changed its behavior.

              @Fifteen15Studios I see how to do the disable in code, but we don’t do that.

              window.removeMenu()

              I do not see any mention of changing the default behavior or how to enable it

                @sdetweil It only seemed to happen with a fresh install. I had an older version installed that I just continuously updated for months and never had this issue. But with a fresh install, behavior is different. Maybe there’s something that changed in the install script that causes it?

                  we are using frame: false in electronOptions

                      Hi,

                      I’ve got the same issue (no menu when hitting alt).

                      Inspired by @karsten13 's post I tested out changing
                      “electronOptionsDefaults.frame = false;” to true in electron.js and this gave me the window toolbar just fine, but it was always on. Trying a few other things still hasnt given me the ‘sometimes on’ functionality.

                      I also don’t know if there is another electronOptions I should be changing instead of the defaults inside of electron.js

                      Short of writing a new function to set frame to true on a button press (which I’m not even sure would work, because the settings are passed in at window creation), I’m not sure where to go next.

                      So I know roughly what to investigate, but I’m still a bit lost. If anyone else has solved this issue or has any suggestions I’d be very grateful!
