Lost menu bar

Hi, all,

I was wrestling with another issue and without thinking long enough,
hid the Quanta menu bar. Now I can't get it back. Is there a keyboard
shortcut that will turn it back on? I checked the list archives but
didn't pop anything.

Best regards,

Paul

From memory, I am pretty sure ALT+M or CTRL+M is the keyboard shortcut to hide/show menus in kde 3.5

Ctrl+M it is. Thank you very much. Now on to my other problems. :-)

May as well ask about my original issue too, I guess.

I upgraded to Kubuntu 9.04, which comes with KDE 4.x installed. Since
then, in Quanta, the editing pane after running Tidy, between the file
tab bar and the toolbar, is so tiny vertically that I can't read
anything in it, which makes it rather dangerous to edit there. :-) But
the Tidy line numbers and Quanta's line numbering don't even come
close in this huge HTML file (50K-plus-word  software documentation
file I'm writing). So no obvious work-around.

Any ideas on how I might expand that editing pane?

Best regards,

Paul

Sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to add something so it will be present
in the archive.

To get around the problem with updates over-writing my quanta toolbar (the
system wide toolbar) I just include a check in my .bashrc file that checks to
make sure the toolbar is mine and not the default. If a newer version has
overwritten my toolbar, then the check routine copies mine back. For most
distros, this will require sudo or root access.

If you are interested, simply include the following function in your ~/.bashrc
file and then every time you login, it will check to make sure your toolbar is
still yours (of course the lines beginning with '#' are just comments):

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------#
## functions                                                                
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------#

chkquantatb() {
qpath=/opt/kde3/share/apps/quanta/toolbars/html
stdtb=standard.toolbar.tgz                    
dcrtb=standard.toolbar.tgz.dcr                

if ! diff ${qpath}/${dcrtb} ${qpath}/${stdtb} > /dev/null 2>&1; then
    sudo cp ${qpath}/${dcrtb} ${qpath}/${stdtb}                    
fi                                                                  
}                                                                  

<snipped stuff>


#--------------------------------------------------------------------------#                                            
# config checks                                                                                                        
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------#                                            
                                                                                                                       
  chkquantatb                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                       


Just make sure you use the correct qpath path above and save a copy of your
toolbar either in the directory where it normally resides under a different
name (mine is 'standard.toolbar.tgz.dcr' above) or you will need to adjust the
location in the copy call here:

    sudo cp ${qpath}/${dcrtb} ${qpath}/${stdtb}
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This just keeps the installer from outsmarting me :p
