   *Menu Button*: You can now collapse the main menu bar (does not apply to
   Mac OS X) and use the toolbar menu button instead. This can be useful when
   you want to maximize the vertical editing space. A bonus of this feature is
   that the last used menu items will also be displayed in the top-level of
   the button menu, making it quick and easy to select the same command again.

Where do I enable this? I looked around but didn't find it. (Running Komodo
IDE on Windows.)

Thanks!
