Implementation of a classical menu #409

Hey! Just discovered BowPad today and so far it is surprisingly good.

What I like so far:

  • small size on disk
  • portable
  • fast
  • free
  • open source
  • small RAM usage
  • dark mode colors of the UI and also the colors in the syntax highlighting. I like the nice contrast
  • the control of the multi cursor with the keyboard, it is very easy, like in Notepad++
  • the design of the status bar is very functional

What I do not like is the ribbon menu.
I use my editors in a small window, smaller than the width of that big menu, and the ribbon is always hiding something I need. Not at all practical.
I know it is one of the notable features of BowPad, but for me it is a big no no.
There are also other visual problems of the Windows ribbon framework, like #345 and #84.

Please implement classical menus for the rest of us and let the user decide what to use. If I remember correctly, UltraEdit has this.

I also made a poll for people to vote: #408
