Yeah, I've come to an agreement with the multidock but it took adding a third really big monitor.  Now the CV floats across two 22" monitors and unless I'm working in the PRV, I always have the TV and the CV open.  
 
I even have screensets configured to move the CV over 8 tracks at a time to keep in alignment with my MCU and extenders.

That having screensets to use with MCU and extenders is a great idea. Can't wait to set it up.

I've just recently come to terms with it and like it.  I put the entire MD (with CV) on my right monitor with enough margin remaining top and right for me to click VST windows to give them focus.  When I open PRV or another, they open in a new tab in the MD
 
TV stays on the left undisturbed.

Re-reading some of the comments, I guess I'll try the suggestion to get the MD out of my main monitor and up on to the less used 3rd monitor.     Whether my neck will take the strain of looking to the very top of the top monitor to see the menu ... we'll see.    As to "why can't you use it like I do", well.    For everything I do, nearly, multiple SIMULTANEOUS windows are necessary.   And the number keys, alas, all ten of them hardcoded to screensets.   Does anyone really use more than 3 screensets?    Humans are adaptable, sure ...

I regularly use at least 5 different screensets.

Somehow this thread popped up on a search.   Fwiw, I hate multidock with a passion too, though I've learned to mostly avoid wasting time with it by keeping many many many windows 'undocked' and 'floating'.    Of course if I forget and type in a number to a field without having told Sonar that's what I'm doing, the screensets go wild and it takes 5-10 minutes to get back on track with making music. 




William - you got me with this one. I read through 3 pages of nothing really. I wish the forum had something that indicated an OLD thread was being commented on...

Actually, musicroom, me too.  I didn't notice the original date when first commenting ... I think it came up from using a google search rather than the forum search option, which never works.

If you add it to the Feature Request forum I'd sure give it a few stars.

No problem William, I know how easy that can happen. I've done it myself.
 
@steveC - I just posted one. So feel free to give it some stars.  :)

I have no problem with this aged thread being given new life.  I got a great idea out of it that I wouldn't have otherwise seen.
 
To the point about an indication that a thread is dusty when it gets new life, I'll visit the FR.
