dockable docker

it may be a minor request. I am mostly working on my laptop with a 16:9 screen. It would be nice to dock the docker-window not only on the bottom of the screen but on any side I want to. As I have not found this feature requested or in the manual, I hope I do not post this unnecessarily. I included a "screenshot". greets from sunny vienna habsi

Yes! ...and why not removing the docker ? I was about to enter a close FR; no more docker but true "docking". (Existing) implementation example: - been able to dock (place) any window anywhere via drag'n'drop on another view's border (a small view handle is needed for the drag, btw) - been able to close, minimize, maximize any view (buttons are needed, like the windows ones but for reaper's views and smaller!) - been able to create "tabs" via drag'n'drop of a view in another one - been able to unattach "tabs" via drag'n'drop of a tab to .. somewhere else - been able to change the tabs order via drag'n'drop of a tabs - been able to create "tabs" via drag'n'drop of a view in another one - been able to undock views, recursively (unattach a view as an independent window, where other views form the parent/child windows can be drag'n'droped) - almost like the current "screen sets": been able to load/save a layout (opened views/windows with positions, max, min.. states) + related actions -etc..

yes i think i requested similar thing a long time ago, but this also came in my mind i just had more important FRs. yes i think the docker need an improvement. dock it up and both sides. (so FL users can be satisfied :) ) time to fix those tabs: when you have many tabs, you can't access them all. add an arrow or something to access the hidden tabs. also in the projects tabs.

I did not think of it this way. Nice. I am just used to applications with one window. But I think being able to dock the window (or any window) anywhere I want and save the screenset would be nice.

What about the idea of having multiple docks... say 2 or 3?

Current actions to show and hide the docker would become tricky or impossible with multiple dockers. I think that a more thought out context-sensitive display scheme might do what you want more easily.

I put in a FR awhile back for Blender 3D window splitting:
