All the Oxygen views available in the Editor Perspective are dockable. You can drag them to any margin of another view or editor inside the Oxygen window to form any desired layout. Also a view can be set to a floating state to enable it to hover over other views and editors.
To gain more editing space in the Oxygen window, set one or more views to the auto hide state: only the title always remains visible, attached to one of the margins of the Oxygen window, while the rest of the view gets restored only when the mouse pointer hovers over the title or when you click the title. The view becomes hidden again when the mouse pointer goes out of the screen area covered by that view.
All the opened editors can be tiled horizontally/vertically or stacked together using actions
from
Tile Editors Horizontally,
Tile Editors Vertically,
Stack Editors. When several tiled editors
exist, and action
Synchronously
scrolling (from the same menu) is enabled, when scrolling inside one editor all other editors will also
scroll.
Also the editing area can be divided vertically and horizontally with the split / unsplit
actions available on the Split toolbar and the Split
horizontally,
Split
vertically,
Unsplit.
The editor can be maximized or restored(same action as double click on the editor tab) by using the Maximize/Restore Editor Area action from the menu.
Any Oxygen view or toolbar can be opened at any time from the menu items available in the menus and . The current (focused) dockable view is made invisible (switched to hidden state) with the shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+F4) (Meta+Shift+F4) on Mac OS X). The users who prefer the keyboard instead of the mouse may find this shortcut a faster way of closing a view than clicking the Close button from the title bar of the view. The complementary action (opening a view with a shortcut) requires setting a custom shortcut for each view in the Menu Shortcut Keys preferences.
