Comment 10 for bug 989476

Has there been any progress on this? This is an incredible killer-feature of Unity, and I am shocked that it seems to still be unavailable on any other desktop environment. It's very useful for a keyboard-driven approach to computing.

I see that KDE Plasma is getting this feature soon, likely in their next version: http://blog.broulik.de/2016/10/global-menus-returning/

Perhaps there could be some collaboration with them, or you could just look at their code and get some ideas on how to do this?
