Docking Tool Windows

To dock a tool window, drag it from its current location towards the document area or another tool window, if you want to dock it to its edge. Drop points will appear. Then drop the window on the required drop point to dock the tool window.

•	If you drop a tool window on an arrow drop point in the center of the document area or another tool window, it will be docked to the side of the document area or the corresponding tool window, towards which an arrow points.

•	If you drop it on an arrow drop point near the environment window edge, tool window will be docked to this edge.

•	If you drop a tool window on the central drop point , it will be placed over the target tool window.

Placing Tool Windows to the Document Area

To place a tool window to the document area, activate it and choose Tabbed Document from the Window menu, or right-click its title and choose Tabbed Document from the popup menu. To make it dockable again, activate it and choose Dockable from the Window menu, or right-click its title and choose Dockable from the popup menu.

Document Area

Document area size can be manipulated by resizing docked tool windows. To free more space for documents, you can put docked tool windows to auto-hide mode by clicking the pushpin icon on the title bar of the window.

You can arrange documents in tab groups in document area. To create a tab group or move document to another tab group just drag a document to a drop point. Dragging a document to an arrow drop point will create new tab group; dragging it to the tab group central drop point will move the document to this tab group.
