Description Petros 2017-03-22 15:04:26 UTC
When I want a toolview to be wide in order not to srcoll sideways, I usually undock it. But window manager doesn't treat it like a normal window - eg I may want to set it as "Keep above other" while I debug or run various analysis.

So it there a way for a toolview to be undocked as another KDevelop's window on my desktop?

I'm assuming they are qdockwidgets. as far as i know, qdockwidgets cant be turned into qmainwindows.

Can I do something for it?

@Petros: Which tool view? Maybe we should rather re-layout this particular tool view so it fits to contents?

Well it's not just one... I am thiniking of Valgrind outputs, Disassembly/Registers and of course Documentation.

It would be nice if they could act as seperate windows if one wishes so.

Ok, you get the point. While the code and some various toolviews are docked, a special toolview -eg Documentation, or something else you want to view with ease and at once, without scrolling and resizing- will be a second kdevelop window.

I'd like to see this, too, because of bug # . :)
