[Interest] Qt Quick MenuBar in subsections of a window

[Damian Ivanov]

the shortcuts are not a problem you get the menu, each button will
call the menu as if it was a "ContextMenu"
Row {
Menu{id:1 ....................
MenuItem {text: " TEST" ; shortcut: "Ctrl + C";ontriggered: "mystuff"}
Menu{id:2  ....................}
Menu{id:3 ....................}
Button {id:1 onClicked: menu1.popup()}
Button {id:2 onClicked: menu2.popup()}
Button {id:3 onClicked: menu3.popup()}
}

so you actually this approach is almost as complete as the menuBar,
here something I do for a custom menubar  including File, Edit or so +
a button in the menuBar
    Menu{id:menu;title:"File";
        Menu{title:"Open File";
            MenuItem{text:"XML config file";onTriggered:fileDialog.open();}
            MenuItem{text:"Storage System Support
Bundle";onTriggered:{storeBundleDialog.open();}}
            MenuItem{text:"Management Group Support
Bundle";onTriggered:mgBundleDialog.open();}}}
    Text{text:"File";MouseArea{anchors.fill:parent;onClicked:menu.popup();}}
    Button{id:button;text:"Check for
Notifications";onClicked:notificationsWindow.show()}
    Button{id:button2;text:"Upgrades";onClicked:console.log(myFile.lines())}}
