Disabling Drag-to-Multidock?
I think there was a way to disable this in X1, but I can't figure it out in X3 if possible.
In Default Screenset 5; with Tracks at the top and Console at the bottom:
I'd like to disable the function where you can drag a plug-in down to the Console area to add it to the Multidock. For example, when I open a plug-in, then drag it down to the middle of the screen, the bottom (Console area) turns blue, indicating that, if you release the click-drag, Sonar will add the plug-in to the Multi-dock. Is there a way to disable that assumption?
Thanks!

I can't recall the correct key combo but I think it is either by holding down Shift key or the CTRL key (or both) while dragging the (plug-in) window to the bottom. Yeah, it's just the CTRL key. Just hold that down while drag the window.
Kind regards,

But I'm guessing there's no way to simply disable that? It's sort of irritating. I don't ever want my plug-ins in the Multi-dock.

This bothers me too. If there's an option to disable ALL of the multi-dock actions, I'd like to know. Right now, I guess I'll play around with the tip above (control-drag, or shift, or alt, or whatever it happens to be).

I wish there was a way to permanently disable this as well. I have everything undocked and spread across my monitors using full screen mode. I then configured and locked my screen sets with the views I use and save the empty project as a starting point (not as a template). I load this project and immediately do a save as when I start on somehing new.
IMHO, I think skylight's docking system is great for single monitor setups(works nice on my laptop), but in a multi-monitor setup it makes things far more difficult for me to manage and gets in the way of my workflow. But thats just me though. :)

Duckbar has an option to hide the multidock.

Duckbar. Not exactly what I was hoping to hear, anyway.

I would not suggest Duckbar for your issue. In the case of the split TV/Console view setup, to prevent the multidock grabbing plug-ins either get use to holding the ALT key when dragging plug-ins around or undock the console view.

I confirm that it is in fact the Control Key (no other modifier or any other key will do).

So, surely it would be easy to just allow me to disable in X4? I could disable it in X1, I believe, but I don't see how to in X3.

I cannot confirm if there is a disable multidock option in X4. I don't have that version and I am not sure if it exist. Was there a release I missed? Kind regards, Living Room Rocker

I'd love to be able to disable this too. I'm forever docking my plugins and then find I can't get to them!!

Well, I mean, in the next version, how difficult would it be to work in the ability to give us the option to disable this function in X4 before it comes out?
