*** Bug 214829 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** There already is API and an action for that but it's disabled in NetBeans builds because our UI experts decided it's not a good idea for some reason. You can turn it on by editing Bundle_nb.properties in <netbeans dir>\nb\modules\locale\org-netbeans-core-windows_nb.jar Just change Mode.Editor.Undocking.Enabled=false to Mode.Editor.Undocking.Enabled=true I know this is awfully naive of me, but I did what you suggested, now what? How do I actually move an entire tab group -- and all its tabs -- to its own floating window?

There should be 'Float Group' item in tab's context menu. Please file a bug if there isn't. I find two files named "Bundle_nb.properties" in the jar file "<netbeans-dir>\nb\modules\locale\org-netbeans-core-windows_nb.jar" One is at /org/netbeans/core/windows The other is at /org/netbeans/core/windows/view/ui At first, I changed false to true in the first file. Now, I have added the same line to the second file. I reopened these files in the jar file to verify that the changes got saved and then copied into the jar file. They did. There is still no "Float Group" item in the tab context menu. I will open a new bug for that. Thank you. created bug #224715 (In reply to comment #5) > I find two files named "Bundle_nb.properties" in the jar file > "<netbeans-dir>\nb\modules\locale\org-netbeans-core-windows_nb.jar" > > One is at /org/netbeans/core/windows > > The other is at /org/netbeans/core/windows/view/ui > > At first, I changed false to true in the first file.

Thanks. Now... should I add an Enhancement request to make it possible to enable/disabled this "Float Group" action in the UI (Editor Options)? Or will this one suffice? |
