How to expand out the application hamburger menu?

I want to turn the hamburger menu in the title bar into something similar to the global menu.

The global menu is great but I can't go to the corner to close the app anymore. I have to waste extra seconds to look at the corner and move the mouse down a bit.

Also, CTRL+M does nothing in any app I tried it on.

When I have both the global menu and the hamburger menu, pressing ALT+char opens the corresponding tab in both menus.

It would be a great feature if it turned back into hamburger menu if there was not enough space to show all menu options.

I dont want a different panel for the expanded menu bar. i want it in my window decoration (where the close maximize minimize buttons are)

or to move the close minimize maximize (and keep above) buttons up to window that panel somehow and get rid of window decorations. that should work too.

do you know of a way to embed the global menu widget into the window decoration? I only managed to do it to the panel which I put on top.

The name of what you're looking for is "locally integrated menus" for "window decorations". This is not currently possible natively in KDE.

There is however the extension Material Decorations by Zren.

There is also an open merge request to support this in the native Breeze decorations.

As far as I see though this will permanently put the menu entries in the title bar, not toggle them on hamburger button press.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
