Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Comfy-Org/desktop/issues/324

Current:

Start desktop normally
Press alt
Click / drag anywhere on the screen
Release alt
File / edit / view menu bar appears

Expected:

If anything other than a mouse move happens - click, press shift, etc - it's expected that the alt shortcut to focus menu is cancelled.

A regular tap of just the alt key is fine.

It could be put into an always-visible button on a custom title bar (if electron supports that?). Like Chrome's top-left button:

Hi, @webfiltered. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the desktop team manage their backlog. I'm marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

The file menu bar appears when the alt key is pressed, even with other actions like clicking or pressing shift.
Expected behavior is for the alt shortcut to be canceled if any action other than a mouse move occurs.
@linear suggested adding an always-visible button on a custom title bar, similar to Chrome's top-left button, as a potential solution.

Next Steps:

Please confirm if this issue is still relevant to the latest version of the desktop repository by commenting here.
