SUMMARY
Cannot make floating window(s)/docker(s) stay visible in canvas only mode

REASON FOR IMPLEMENTATION:
in canvas only mode, it is possible to show various information, but you must show all, or no dockers, both floating, and docked.

It would be very useful to only show information on some dockers, and being able to make them not be hidden when floating would be a worthwhile addition (possible a pin in the docker window next to the dock and close buttons) to say it should always be visible.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
this issue is similar to issue #336051 that was closed back in 2016.

after looking at the reason it was closed, I have found that it is not similar/applicable to the hotkey to show all dockers. this requests that only floating dockers are effected instead of all.
