Access to main menu from an icon in the ribbon #127

Describe the feature

If Settings > Appearance > Window Frame Style is set to anything but Obsidian Frame on Win11, it seems that you don't have access to the main menu (with File, Edit, View, Insert, ... sub-menus). So I'm wondering whether it would be possible for Commander to have an option to place an icon in the ribbon to access the main menu bar when in Hidden (default) or Native frame.

Does this fix a problem? If so, specify.

I'm mainly using Mac, but recently got a Win11 (work-related) laptop, and would love access to the main menu occasionally, and it always displays on Mac, but I can't find it on Win11 unless I specify the Obsidian Frame variant, which occupies an entire row of real estate on my screen. I'd like that line back for other uses... :-)

Did you consider other alternatives?

As stated, using Obsidian frame can occupy the entire top row, and give me this menu, but it would be so much nicer if I had the option to have that menu icon placed in the ribbon somewhere.

The image shows the menu expanded ready to select the Force reload command, which is not available through the command palette. This is also the case for some of the other menu options, if I'm not mistaken, so having this menu available somewhere would just be nice.

It seems like Force Reload is available in the command palette, but it's called "Reload app without saving."
