What happened?

Since #5847, the menu bar in the Electron app is hidden unless Alt is pressed (there is no Alt on Mac, and Opt doesn't seem to work). For the Mac, this means the default ways of quitting an app (either Cmd+q or <name> menu/Quit <name>) are gone. Same for closing the window (Cmd+w), hiding it (Cmd+h), or minimizing it to the dock (Cmd+m), even copy (Cmd+c) and paste (Cmd+v) and most other shortcuts one expects in any app, as they're bound in the menu normally. There still is the Actual/Exit menu option, but that is 1. named incoherent with the rest of the system, 2. without a shortcut and 3. just closes the window instead of exiting the app.

Besides this regression, lots of Mac users are used to having most features of a program available in the menu, where it can be discovered by looking or searching (search bar in the help menu or Shift+Cmd+/), and it is shown on top of the screen anyway not taking space from an individual program. For this reason, I'd pledge for not only restoring basic functionality, but also building a real menu, showcasing Actual's abilities and keyboard shortcuts and including a link to the documentation in the help menu.

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Open Actual.app.
  2. Try using any standard windowing shortcuts.

Where are you hosting Actual?

None

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Desktop App (Electron)

Operating System

Mac OSX
