Build instructions

1. cd $SOME_DIR
2. git clone https://code.qt.io/qt-creator/qt-creator.git
3. cd qt-creator
4. check out the branch or tag that corresponds to your Qt Creator version. For example: git checkout v4.5.0 if you are running Qt Creator 4.5.0
5. qmake # you only need to run qmake in the qt-creator source tree, full build is not required
6. cd $SOME_DIR

8. cd qt-creator-hide-menu
9. qmake IDE_SOURCE_TREE=${SOME_DIR}/qt-creator

The plugin is automatically placed in ${HOME}/.local/share/data/QtProject/qtcreator/plugins/${QTCREATOR_VERSION} and it should be automatically picked-up by Qt Creator (you will need to close existing instances and restart Qt Creator though).

When the plugin is activated a new option (Hide main menu) will be added to the Window menu. The default keyboard shortcut for activating this option is Ctrl+Meta+Alt+M. You can change it via the configuration dialog (Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard - search for menuhide).
