Automatically hides the Visual Studio main menu when not in use, similar to Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer.
Download

After installing this extension, Visual Studio's main menu will collapse when not in use (using the same behavior as Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer).  To use the menu, simply press and release the Alt key, or press and release Alt+<shortcut> to directly show a menu (e.g. Alt+F to show the file menu).  The menu bar will automatically hide again once you're finished using it.


To disable this feature after installing, use Tools\Extension Manager to disable or uninstall the extension (of course, you'll have to use Alt+T to show the Tools menu if the extension is enabled).
