Thanks for the feedback.
I checked my Shorter Oxford dictionary, which is not at all short, and undock
is indeed listed, so a large number like that terminology, I have decided, at

I prefer detach/attach, but float/attach would also work at somewhat of
a disadvantage. I'm not sure J Random User would understand the float
terminology, as I think that implies that the window would always be on
top, and that probably isn't the case.
