## how to control visibility of menulets via terminal
### on MacOS X 10.11 (and probably before):
```
$ defaults read com.apple.systemuiserver
```
be cautious: in this command :menuExtra:1 refers to the second entry from the output of the previous command
```
$ /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Delete :menuExtras:1' ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
$ killall SystemUIServer
```
the second command needs to be applied multiple times, at least some times :-)
### going from Montery (and probably above, not tested !)
Show WIFI menu-item:
```
$ defaults -currentHost write com.apple.controlcenter WiFi -int 18
```
Hide WIFI menu-item:
```
$ defaults -currentHost write com.apple.controlcenter WiFi -int 24
```
It works instantly, not even needed to killall SystemUIServer
