Hi,

Is it possible to have a single window with a Tabbed interface of your selection (or all) IDE debug windows? Something like the attached screenshot.

Or has anybody created a IDE add-on that allows this?

I'm simply running out of desktop space trying to keep all debug windows visible or easily accessible.

Regards,
Graeme

Yes, anchordockingdsgn supports docking with tabs.

A word of warning:

One of my collegues - a seasoned Delphi developer, but never used Lazarus - tried to install this during the summer, using 1.6, because he wants to use the docked interface.

He got the package to install, but got so many errors trying to work (even simple tasks such as dropping a button and setting some properties) that he simply gave up on Lazarus as a whole.

Maybe the situation has improved since the release of 1.6

Michael.

Thanks for the warning... I haven't installed it yet. The layout I would like is for everything to still be undocked (eg: Object Inspector, Source Editor, Project Inspector), but only want the Debug windows docked in a tabbed window. If AnchorDocking can't do that'll not use it.

It can do that.
