Lost menu button in Chrome

Yesterday I removed navbar using "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" and installed LMT.
Today I noticed, that the menu button is gone both in chrome and chrome beta.
Other apps work fine.
Does Anyone have an idea how to bring it back?
Bump
It's because you've told the phone you have a hardware button, so it'll remove the overflow button in (some) apps

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I believe Gravity Box allows you to remove the emulated hardware keys and adds the 3-dot menu key to almost(?) all apps.

[Q] Swipe up to press hidden soft keys?

Hi all,
I've been using GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys to, well, auto hide my soft keys. But I'm frustrated by the two-step action to press a button--first an upward swipe at the bottom of the screen, then a press on one of the buttons. But since the buttons are always in the same place, I'd like to just swipe up in the vertical of the button to engage the press--for example, swiping up in the bottom left corner will press the back button without ever showing it.
Does anyone kow of an app t hat does this, or how I can go about this?
Thanks!
Update: Got it. GMD Gesture Control!

[Q] Accidental home key presses -- Move keyboard up?

I keep accidentally pressing the Home key when typing a message, and I would like to find a way to move the keyboard up on the screen just a bit to avoid this. Or to disable the home key when keyboard is up, either way. I am open to third-party keyboards, but I don't want Swipe-style.

[Q] How to avoid accidentally exiting camera app?

Maybe I just have meaty digits, but I often find that when I'm trying to take a picture, my thumb will graze the hardware back button and exit the camera app completely. Then I have to reload the camera app and I've totally missed the moment.
I finally got fed up and switched to the soft navigation bar - in CM11, it's under Settings > Buttons > Enable on-screen nav bar - but it's not a very elegant solution.
Ideally, while I'm in the camera app, I'd like the phone to require a long press of the back button to exit. But I don't know of a way to conditionally remap the hardware keys - e.g. "if CAMERA is running, remap Back Key short press to NULL and remap Back Key long press to BACK."
Any suggestions?

"home" button not working after build.prop edit

Hello gentlemen.
I have been tinkering with my setup (nav keys especially) ever since getting my s8+.
My question here - after applying "gemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to my build.prop to eliminate the navbar (replaced by button gestures) the pressure sensitive home button does not work anymore during normal operation.
It does however still work from the sleeping state, to wake the device, so I am thinking it is still receiving input
Is it possible that after removing the navbar, the associated action, triggering the home button is removed ? There is no haptic feedback whilst pressing the area after unlock, only while in locked/sleep mode.
Is there any way to assign a function to the action of pressing the area through editing generic.kl ? Or am I missing something here.
Thank you in advance.
