I have used the "Components" window in a non-docked environment with no
problems. I removed the component palette altogether. IMO the point is
to use it as a dialog, not as a constantly open IDE window.
My workflow is: open the Components window with a keyboard shortcut,
find the component by typing, place the component where wanted with a
mouse-click, close the window.
That brings me to the 2 issues I found:
1.) I used to open the Components window with Ctrl+Alt+P. I have a
short-cut associated with it (see the attachment). But the shortcut is
not recognized (I press Ctrl+Alt+P and it does nothing). It looks like
an application-wide problem. The shortcut is not recognized in the
"Choose a key..." dialog in IDE Options -> Key Mappings either.
Strange is that Ctrl+Alt+D (show desktops) works fine. Maybe it is just
my PC that eats the Ctrl+Alt+P shortcut? Can anybody confirm? I am on
Windows 10.
2.) When the "Keep open" checkbox is unchecked and I single-click on a
component to select it and place it with a mouse click on the form (no
double-click), the Components window is not closed.
Is it wanted? Shouldn't be the window closed?
Thanks
Ondrej
