The code looks good to me, which desktop platforms does it need testing on?

I experienced #5100 on macOS only, I do not know if it is an issue on Windows/Linux or not. The dynamic menu item related change (#446) should affect all supported platforms.

I see no issue on MacOS

Also it flickers when I click in the editor on Ubuntu 16.04, doesn't do it on master :/

(can't see it really well on the gif, but still a bit)

Seems to be a good approximation, won't work though if commands should be enabled/disabled based on internal widget state.

This. I will investigate VS Code's solution a bit more thoroughly.

Thanks for the feedback. I will try how VS Code behaves on my Ubuntu image and will compare it with Theia. Perhaps, I have to add some debouncing logic.

@akosyakov, I have dropped the dynamic electron menu part.
@marechal-p, could you please review the PR again. I have changed the window argument to electronWindow based on your feedback. Thank you!

LGTM no more flickering on my side.
