- Various jEdit and plugin
- windows can be docked into the view for convenience. Dockable windows
- have a popup button in their top-left corner. Clicking this button displays a menu with commands for docking the window in one of four sides of the view.
- </p><p>
- On each side of the text area where there are docked windows, a strip of buttons is shown. There is a button for activating each docked window, as well as a close box and a popup menu button, which when clicked shows a menu for moving or undocking the currently selected window. The popup menu also contains a command for opening a new floating instance of the current window.
- </p><p>
- The commands in the <span><b class="guimenu">View</b></span>><span><b class="guisubmenu">Docking</b></span>
- menu move keyboard focus between docking areas.
- </p><p>
- Dockable windows can also be configured in the <span><b class="guilabel">Docking</b></span> pane of the <span><b class="guimenu">Utilities</b></span>><span><b class="guimenuitem">Global Options</b></span> dialog box.
- </p><div class="sidebar"><p class="title"><b>For power users</b></p><p>
- Each dockable has three commands associated with it; one is part of the
- menu bar and opens the dockable. The other two commands are:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span><b class="guimenuitem">Window Name
- (Toggle)</b></span> - opens the dockable window if it is hidden, and
- hide it if its already open.</p></li><li><p><span><b class="guimenuitem">Window Name
- (New Floating Instance)</b></span> - opens a new instance of the
- dockable in a floating window, regardless of the docking
- configuration. For example, this can be used to view two
- different directories side-by-side in two file system browser windows.</p><p>
- A new floating instance can also be opened from the dockable window's popup menu.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
- These commands cannot be invoked from the menu bar. However, they can be
- added to the tool bar or context menu, and given keyboard shortcuts;
- see <a href="global-opts.html" title="The Global Options Dialog Box">the section called “The Global Options Dialog Box”</a>.
