Okay this looks helpful. I suppose we probably want a function to toggle, and then include some logic for switching between false/true or whatever string is necessary for a given setting.

I believe it will be accessible via "Alt" key press.

  // Control the visibility of the menu bar. A setting of 'toggle' means that the menu bar is hidden and a single press of the Alt key will show it. A setting of 'compact' will move the menu into the side bar.
  //  - classic: Menu is displayed at the top of the window and only hidden in full screen mode.
  //  - visible: Menu is always visible at the top of the window even in full screen mode.
  //  - toggle: Menu is hidden but can be displayed at the top of the window via the Alt key.
  //  - hidden: Menu is always hidden.
  //  - compact: Menu is displayed as a compact button in the side bar. This value is ignored when `window.titleBarStyle` is `native`.
  "window.menuBarVisibility": "classic",
