Move the Menu Bar

[Hungry Horace]

Does anyone know of a way to move the menu bar position, either an app or setting in MACOS. I use my Macbook with an ultra wide monitor and it is a bit of a pain having to move the curser to the top left or right every time I need to select a function in the menus, would be far simpler if I could make the menu items more central on the ultrawide monitor.
First world problem I know, but just wondered if there is a way.

Thanks

There is no way to move the menubar items on the left. The menubar app icons on the right can be moved more to the middle (left of where they are) with a utility like Spaced (excellent developer!) where you add a bunch of spacers until they're moved more toward center.

The problem is that you simply cannot move the built-in Control Center, Siri, and Clock icons - they're always at the far right. And also, they are not dynamic... so the "space" doesn't expand and contract with the amount of empty menubar space available.

See screenshot below, where I added 10 "Tab" spaces to the right of the last adjustable menu bar app icons (in this case, Search). I got tired of fussing with it just to show this screenshot, but you could add more.

Not possible. But most menu items have keyboard shortcuts, which I find far more convenient to use than menu placement.

While I agree that KB shortcuts are more convenient, not everyone can remember all the possible options. And, as I illustrated above, it IS possible to move menubar app icons.

An alternative is to move the menus to where your cursor is using Menuwhere: https://manytricks.com/menuwhere/

I do it with Better Touch Tool. Must admit that BTT is such a beast to configure that I am looking for other solutions.

How do you configure that with BTT?

BTT has an action called: Show Menu Bar in Context Menu. I also added the Right arrow action.
The Trigger I use: 1 Finder Tap Left Side Middle. (you can, of course, use any other trigger)

Here is trigger and two actions - I have highlighted the first action:

I know the OP is only talking about using an ultra-wide monitor, but the other issue too with centering or spacing the menu bar is the notch on macbooks.
