Scrollbars. Ever heard of them? They’re pretty cool. Click and drag on a scrollbar and you can move content around in a scrollable content pane. I love that shit. Every day I am scrolling on my computer, all day long. But the scrollbars are getting smaller and this is increasingly becoming a problem. I would show you screenshots but they’re so small that even screenshotting them is hard to do. And people keep making them even smaller, hiding them away, its like they don’t want you to scroll! “Ah”, they say, “that’s what the scroll wheel is for”. My friend, not everyone can use a scroll wheel or a swipe up touch screen. And me, a happy scroll-wheeler, even I would like to quickly jump around some time.

You can hide ribbon menu afaik by double clicking on any tap. I’m sure least MS Office support it.

I see.
So, is there a better alternative to ribbons?
I am a developer and I am genuinely interested to know if there’s a better way to make frequently used buttons accessible.

I think what killed menus are all the people who can’t fucking read.

I’m 100% with you on all of this! Just give me a classic windows menu at the top. I don’t want any ribbons, side bars, hovering bullshit that covers what I’m working on… Everything should have a keyboard shortcut. Everything should have visibility options.

Control key shortcuts.
