I’ve been stacking my Probe windows and ‘rolling them up’ to the top of my scren when not in use. I doubleclick to unroll, and doubleclick to roll them back up. Its nice and keeps screen clutter down.

**It would be nice if windows could be made to automatically expand and collapse upon MouseOver. Bonus points if the windows can collapse to the left & right as well.**

If not, could you at least fix it so they stay collapsed? Every time i undock i need to roll it back up because it starts off expanded when they’re stacked.

I would love to be able to collapse the Local window to the left side of my screen as well, and have it pop up when i hover over it

Have you tried using a keybind?

I also like collapsing my probe window when not in use and make it appear any time I need it, but I find pressing a key more reliable and faster than clicking somewhere on the screen.

As a benefit my fingers then are already in position for the probe size and scan keybinds as well.
