Can Console In/Output be modified?
Curt Carpenter:
Using Lazarus 3.2 on Linux to debug a simple pascal program using the Console In/Output window. Is there is a way to permanently turn off the "Always on top" mode for the console window? Also: is there is a way to make the "Enter" keys on my keyboard all perform the same way (the Enter key on the numeric keypad has a different effect than the Enter on the qwerty portion of my keyboard.)?
MarkMLl:
Both those questions depend on the OS you're using.
In the case of unix many if not most window managers offer a "keep on top" or similar which can usually be applied to individual windows.
Enter key handling etc. will again depend on the OS and widget set, I don't know to what extent that's fixable or how amenable the LCL maintainers would be.

I don't think the window itself has that flag/option => but maybe its added by anchordockig?

No, it will be done (on unix) by the WM. See attached.
Updated: If Curt's talking about Windows, I think I remember that it had a way that an application program could add things to the system button. Could an IDE extension package add a "keep on top" facility?
Apologies for a fairly large screenshot, but KDE didn't want to action the PrintScreen key if the menus were already displayed.

Curt Carpenter:
OK thank you. It took me a while to discover that the Enter key on the numeric part of my keyboard didn't work with the debugger's Console In/Output while the one on the qwerty part did. Core problem though is that it's been a long time since I used the "small program" mode to do anything and don't have the right habits. Great fun though!
