I got sick of running my cursor up to the top of the screen to see my battery life, the time, etc., and I realized that there is a simple way to display the menu bar when in full screen mode. Just invoke the Spotlight keyboard shortcut, which by default is Command-Space. Use that key combination once to show the menu bar, then again to hide it.

Easily toggle the menu bar in full screen mode
Useful hint, but doesn't work for full-screen Screen Sharing. There, the Cmd-space is passed to the remote Mac, not to the local Mac.

This depends on how keyboard shortcuts is set up. Command-space is also the default for "Select the previous input source".

I would like the opposite...a way to delay the menu from coming down.

I agree this is a big issue when using parallels in full screen mode. I really like full screen mode with parallels since it gives me a quick way to have a windows machine in a separate space.

Ctrl-F2 will also show the menubar - without the Spotlight pulldown - as long as you have your F-keys enabled as F-keys and not brightness, volume, etc.

Even if you don't have the F-keys enabled, on most mac keyboards the fn-key is located right besides the ctrl key, so it's an easy 3 finger key-comibination: fn-ctrl-f2.

I don't understand the need for this hint. I leave full screen mode in Apple applications using the escape key. Does that not work for everyone?

This is about getting a peek at the menu bar without leaving full screen mode.

This hint is worth a nickle. Tell us a hack to completely stop hiding the menu bar at all in full-screen, and THAT would be worth ten bucks. If you wanted to monitor temp, CPU usage, time, etc, from applets in the menu bar, you cannot do that while actively using Safari in full-screen. The fix we all want is like Windows, where the "Task Bar" has its own hide setting completely independent of any apps full-screen option. |
