Quitting / Prefs after enabling "Don't Show In Menu Bar"

[mankoff]

How do I get to the prefs pane after I've selected "Don't show in menu
bar"?

Also, I think a key combo brought up a cheat sheet of keyboard
shortcuts, but I don't know what I pressed... Any hints?

Thanks,

Hi,

if you have the latest version you just need to launch it again. The
newly started instance of the application will detect that there is
one already running and it will give you the opportunity to just show
the the preferences.

Hope it helps

Doesn't work. Perhaps because I have Spaces activated? I'm not sure.
When I double-click on the app Finder loses focus, but no other window
becomes visible. I've edited the plist to get the menu back.

I'm sorry you are right. When I was testing this functionality it was
only from XCode. Apparently, you can have only one instance of an app
by default, unless you explicitely ask for a new. Say you launch it
from a terminal then:

this launches an application or focus the already running instance
open -a /Applications/ShiftIt.app

this (with -n) will spawn for a new instance
open -na /Applications/ShiftIt.app

I will look into it as there is a need to have a better way to deal
with hiding the menu.

Thank you for pointing this out.
