I don't know if it is normal, but the nautilus menu bar doesn't appear in Ubuntu 18.04.
Now I am only using shortcut keys to copy, select all, cut, paste, etc.
I didn't find answers after much search about Ubuntu 18.04.
I can't see a menu bar in folders with the familiar categories like
File Edit View Go (bookmarks?) Help
What should I do?
This menu which appears as described in one of the answers is not what I need

The menu bar does not exist any more indeed. Menu bars are deprecated in Gnome. This is reflected in all Gnome applications, except
gnome-terminal
, shipping without a menu bar.Like it or not, this is how the Gnome developers see software evolving. If you do not want to adapt to this vision, there are still a plethora of alternative desktops where the "traditional" menu bar is considered the prime reference point for the user to locate commands. The Cinnamon desktop for example, explicitly chooses to retain traditional user interfaces (titlebars, menubars). It therefore forked Nautilus into Nemo, which maintains the global menu. In addition, they have created "x-apps", which are forks of the gnome apps that retain the classical title bar and the menu bar (Xedit, Xviewer, Xreader, etc.)
