Window menu is missing on macOS

[rgov]

Describe the problem

In every multi-window macOS app there is a "Window" menu (to the left of "Help") for switching between open windows:

The Arduino IDE app doesn't have this.

To reproduce

Compare Arduino IDE to any other multi-window Mac app.

Expected behavior

There should be a "Window" menu listing the open sketches.

Arduino IDE version

2.0.3

Operating system

macOS

Operating system version

13.1

Additional context

While the app loads there is actually a "Window" menu amongst the default set of menus, but it gets replaced by the "Tools" menu.

Additional reports

• Having "Window" option on toolbar #1183

Issue checklist

• I searched for previous reports in the issue tracker
• I verified the problem still occurs when using the latest nightly build
• My report contains all necessary details

There are some Electron docs on standard menus.

Duplicate of #1183?

Yes this is a very standard part of any Mac app that supports multiple windows. The standard way to implement it is with a Window menu in the app's main menubar as requested here by rgov. (The approach requested in issue #1183 would be non-standard)

The main feature needed is to list the open windows and allow one to be selected and brought to the front. All of the other window manager functions shown might be nice to have but are secondary to the main feature of selecting a background window to bring to the foreground. Otherwise it's very tedious to find a background window since they're not shown in the dock unless they're also hidden or minimized.

I frequently miss having this capability in the Arduino IDE.

EDIT: Per1234 had a great suggestion to use the dock item menu to activate the background window. Control-click on the Arduino IDE's icon in the Dock bar and select the desired window. Perfect workaround. Thanks Per!
