I'll show you how easy it is...
I have just made a crude menu hider to the IDE
Like this..
https://gitlab.com/bsteers4/gambas/-/tree/menu-hide?ref_type=heads
https://gitlab.com/bsteers4/gambas/-/commit/b67e0b20c86156582600e3d7b81870407ae58702
The "Edit" menu seems unavailable but most all other menu items show in the
list , just hit the "Hidden" checkbox and that menu hides :)
Hidden items are stored in Settings["/HideMenus"]

That was my fun game for today ;)
