[wingide-users] Tool Box tab positions

[gary.h.merrill at gsk.com]

That's right.  I do understand that it is likely that many people don't 
use separate windows.  In fact, that's one thing I dislike about the lack 
of flexibility of Visual Studio:  You get at most two source windows and 
then have to live with tabs.

I suppose it's a mark of my stubborness that I continue to like to work 
with multiple windows which can overlay one another.  But I feel it is 
much easier to navigate among windows in that way and my productivity is 
increased.  One of my interns employs the "everything is full screen" 
approach that has become quite common, and I'm always astounded at how 
much time is spent flicking back and forth between full screen displays to 
compare or copy things.  But to each his own when it comes to editing and 
such.

I guess one thing I don't understand is why the design of the windowing 
options, menus, and such is not uniform across your different windowing 
modes.  It seems like you'd almost have to special-case features like this 
in order for them to be different across the different modes.

I think I just figured out what Gary means.  If you are in 
separate toolbox windows mode or one window per editor mode then 
you get the options to move the note book tabs as part of the 
above menu, but only right/left are given as the choices.

Sorry for the confusion.  If that's not right, please let us 
know.
