How to remove hamburger menu button when the menu bar is disabled in Visual Studio Code

Question

Before the update, I liked to disable show menu bar.
The menu disappeared and you just have to press Alt key to show it again.

But now Alt key doesn't work because there is a new hamburger menu button on the Activity Bar.

Is it possible to remove the hamburger menu icon?

Answer 1

Open File Choose Preferences Choose Settings Search for window.menuBarVisibility

Set this according to your preference. toggle removes the new hamburger icon and only shows when you hit Alt.
