Modifying the IDE Appearance
Figure 1-12:
Use docking
indicators to
determine
where a
window
appears in
the IDE.
Dockable windows need not be dockable. Right-click the title bar of the
window and you can choose to make the window floating, which means it
never docks, or a tabbed document in the editor.
Editor windows also provide some choices. You can right-click a document
tab and choose New Horizontal Tab Group or New Vertical Tab Group from
the context menu to create a new editing area. Normally, these additional
editing areas simply chew up screen real estate that you could better use to
edit your code. However, using multiple editing areas can be helpful when
you want to compare the content of two files.
