I really need to study the key bindings!!

It's not so much knowing (or not knowing) what they are much of the time, I think, it's often a question of hitting a key by accident and - hey presto - something's happened to your screen, and you don't notice it until ten minutes later.

Like, you want to rename Track 1 as "Drum Kit" or some such ... but you forget to hit F2 first, so as soon as you type the "D" .... off goes the Navigator Pane. Ten minutes later ... Oooh, I wonder where that went? Or "C" for "Cello" and you have unwittingly tossed aside your precious Select Tool in favour of a vicious and lethal pair of Scissors

It's tedious I know, but I've gone through my key bindings changing most of these single letter keys to Shift + Key. So I no longer get an unwanted Track Manager popping up every five minutes, or all my hidden tracks triumphantly and mockingly jumping back into sight.

Best,
Geoff

Sorry Steve,

I missed this part of your question for some reason.

Yes, of course you can! From the menu, choose View, Navigator. When it opens up a new window, if it's maximised, Restore it. Then click in Control Box (left end of this Window's Title Bar), Enable Floating, and float away to your heart's content! " />

Meanwhile, back on your other monitor if you wish you can maximise your Track View and type D or click on the little Show/Hide Navigator button in the Track Pane to hide the little Navigator display just above Track 1.

I suspect you must have many tracks in your project!

Best,
Geoff

Holy Moly!!! How did I miss that??!! The Show/Hide Navigator was hidden in my track view!!! Also, I really need to study the key bindings!!

Cool, thanks Geoff!!

Is there a way to put the dock tab display in its own floating window and totally remove it from the track/clips screen?

Also, can you totally remove the navigator view from the track/clips view and put the navigator view in its own floating window?

I don't think so, but that's a good idea. One window to dock the other windows and even place it on a different monitor. You should FR that!

But the then hope that window isn't dockable or it could cause an infinite loopback of dockage, docking docked dockable views. LOL
