overzealous MainMenu

[lanurmi]

MainMenu, used alone, not followed by a menu-specifying letter, still pops up a content menu, rather than the menu bar alone. From there, pressing an item letter will select the item within the opened menu, rather than an item from the main menu.
This makes it more difficult to toggle the menu bar alone by key, without opening on of the submenus. though i think workaround is possible by sending an escape, following MainMenu.

Intended usage:
MainMenu (toggles menu bar, but not a sub menu)
S (open “Search” menu)

Currently:
MainMenu (toggles menu bar and pops open the file menu
S (saves file)

Note that all configured menu keys, like Alt-F, Alt-E etc have the “MainMenu” followed by their menu letter anyway, therefore it seems that turning off the unfolding of the file menu won’t break any existing macros (in fact i wonder how that would work, as – as result of the opened submenu – the following letter which specifies the inteneded submenu would select from context of the opened menu instead).

I currently try to work around this behaviour by sending an Esc after MainMenu, to close the opened menu again.
