The Window Menu

The Window menu contains nine commands:

Split Window

The Split Window command splits the current window into two panes, one above the other.

Dockable

The Dockable command toggles tool windows (Template Explorer, Schema Explorer, Properties Window, and Output Window) between their normal mode and acting like tabs in the editor. For example, if you select the Template Explorer window and then select the Dockable command on the Window menu, Template Explorer will become a tab in the main editing area:

To return a tool window from a tab to its normal mode, select the Dockable command a second time.

The Dockable command has no effect on other windows.

Hide

The Hide command removes a  tool window (Template Explorer, Schema Explorer, Properties Window, or Output Window) from the editor. To return the window to the editor, choose the appropriate command on the View menu. The Hide command has no effect on other windows.

Floating

The Floating command undocks a  tool window (Template Explorer, Schema Explorer, Properties Window, or Output Window) from the editor shell and lets it float free. A floating window can be moved anywhere, including outside of the CodeSmith Studio window entirely.

To return a floating window to its docked state, right-click on the floating window's title bar and uncheck the Floating item on the shortcut menu. Alternatively, select Options from the Docking menu and click the Reset Docking Layout button on the Options dialog box.

Auto Hide All

The Auto Hide All command puts all  tool windows (Template Explorer, Schema Explorer, Properties Window, and Output Window) into auto hide mode. In auto hide mode, the windows are represented by small tabs at the side of the screen, and become visible when you hover the mouse over the tab. At that point, the window "slides" on to the screen, where you can interact with it.

Tip: To turn off auto hide for a window, return it to the screen and then click the push pin icon in the window's title bar.

New Horizontal Tab Group

The New Horizontal Tab Group command opens up a new set of editing tabs split horizontally from the existing tabs.

New Vertical Tab Group

The New Vertical Tab Group command opens up a new set of editing tabs split vertically from the existing tabs.

Close All Documents

The Close All Documents command closes all open documents. If there are any unsaved changes, you will be prompted to save each document with unsaved changes.

Open Window List

After the Close All Documents command, the Window menu displays a list of all open windows. Clicking on any of these items makes that window the active window. The current active window is indicated with a checkmark. Windows with unsaved changes are indicated with an asterisk.
