Set App Menus To “Always Show”
One of Ubuntu 15.04’s notable feature is Menu Setting – App Menus to “Always Show”. The feature is however not immediately accessible to general users and needs to be enabled.
The settings can be applied using the Dconf-editor Tool. To make things easier, run the following command into the Terminal:
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity always-show-menus true
To revert/undo the changes and restore thedefault app menus behavior, run the following comamnd.
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity always-show-menus false
When you do so, you set app menus to hide until mouse over.
