Feature Request: `View Project Forms` - Make Dockable

[Tony Stone]

I think I have made a post about a similar idea here in the past but I think this request is a bit different.  I would like the View Forms window to be dockable like the Code Explorer, Project Inspector etc.  OR.... wouldn't it make more sense to have a `Forms` tree in the Project Inspector?  I don't know why but I REALLY dislike using the menu to view my forms list.  I don't think it would bother me so much if the forms were all listed in a sub menu under Project > Forms >> ....list of forms as menu items

Feel free to tell me I am wrong... I just really think they should be shown in the Project Inspector.  Am I wrong?

I agree.
Currently i have a one-monitor-setup, and it always annoys the hell out of me searching for my forms with SHIFT+F12

It would possibly feel more comfortable if it was not a modal form.  If I want to open up 3 forms at a time I have to repeat the opining process which is really annoying when there is many forms.  I'm probably being a little picky on it but still.  When I want to view or edit one of my many units I often scroll through the project inspector.  Would just make more sense to also have the forms in the Project Inspector IMO.

I don't understand: Aren't the project forms displayed in the Project Inspector?

[Tony Stone]

If they are supposed to be they certainly aren't shown in my Prohect Inspector.  When I get home I will look through IDE options again and see if it's something I have disabled?

Here's a screenshot of the Project Inspector for the LazStats project

This project does not show forms.  Just the units.  In your screenshot I see it has a Forms tree but it is showing units... if you double click those will it display the form in Form  Editor?  Are you doing anything special to have that?  I don't have a Forms tree item on neither my Windows installs or Linux installs.

ok i give up!  no idea why the forum is shrinking my lazarus version to a tiny font.  just tried editing the post and each time it shrinks the version of lazarus to the tiny font you see below.    I will revisit this later tonight. 
This is my current version on this computer.  Pretty recent.
