There are a couple of follow-on changes, such as getting rid of the
window/code button so that I can have both open at once.  (Actually,
this button isn't even consistent with the current model: you should
be able to have both a window and the code for the window open in
separate tabs.)  The problem is that this button appears _ONLY_ on the
tool bar (shame, shame: not following good UI design here), so if you
don't display the toolbar, you can't change the setting.  And the
toolbar takes up a lot of screen real estate.

I agree that a keyboard shortcut to switch between the
layout and the code would be extremely useful, but I
have to wonder why you would need the layout and the
code open at the same time - perhaps it's just different
coding styles, but I seldom use the layout view once
the window has been designed, I just use the code
view and click on the various events etc.

Again, it's personal preference, but I prefer a tabbed view
to having a million windows open - in my current project
I have 6 open tabs as I'm working on various classes all
at the same time - I would hate to have to have 6 windows
open. However, you're point of double-clicking to open
in a new window would solve both preferences for working.

Thanks for your feedback.

All the best,

Mark.
