Thanks Andreas.
No, I don't want to dock views into an editor. That already works as
desired (it tabs the dragged view). The problem is that the main area of
the window is never occupied. It remains empty and since this is the
area that takes the space gained or lost when the whole window is
resized, it is a bit uncomfortable. My intention is that the "main" area
in the window is any (at the user's wish). In other words, there is no
"central" area.
Could this be done, somehow?
