Window handling

Docking and floating

Most windows in QTM can be used as docked or floating windows.

To dock a window, click the title bar, drag it to the workspace you want to dock it, and drop it into one of the dock symbols that appear in the interface. When hovering with the mouse over a dock symbol, the dock position of the window is indicated by a colored area.

The dock locations are:

Dock into the center of the window area as a tab
Dock into the left side of the window area
Dock into the right side of the window area
Dock into the top side of the window area
Dock into the bottom side of the window area

To undock a window click and hold the title bar of the window and drag it from its current dock. For tabbed windows, you can click the tab and drag it from the dock.

Arranging windows

When there are multiple windows in the same dock location, they can be resized by dragging the borders between windows. Floating windows can be resized and freely arranged on the computer screen. Specific window arrangements and customizations can be easily restored by saving them as a Window layout.

An easy way to create floating windows of the same size is by first adding them as tabs in a floating window and then untabbing them.

Arranging windows on multiple computer displays

It is also possible to distribute floating windows across multiple computer displays with display extension and store the arrangements as window layouts in QTM.

When using multiple displays, all displays must use the same scaling in the Windows display settings.
