Floating Windows

[BD3D (Dorian B.)]

, why not have a small floating button (as an option) that the user can place anywhere that would toggle open that floaters menu?

through a shortcut or a menu aint good ? look how fast it is.
Although if some people prefer having some visual option to execute the the operators i can put some a utility of the N panel ? but it feel quite not a necessity, im against overcrowding the n panel.

It would be useful if the whole process is more integrated to Blender.

Also, any floating window could have a button (maybe in the middle of the window header or something) that can be clicked to toggle the always-on-top behavior.

Yes this can be trully awesome ! unfortunately i don’t think that it is possible through an addon.
What you’re asking is a new blender build with proper window management system, custom windows handle, always on top fonctions like this addon…ect… because right now its vanilla OS window management only which is a shame… when i will learn to code my own blender i’ll try to do this as a proof of concept. Blender dev are stubborn about this whole floating windows idea…

i will try tho, i think i found something

( But your button idea is already inside of the main addon menu by the way.)

If the user clicks on the Editors list, a single regular click does the default behavior of changing the current editor to the selected one. However, if the user presses [Ctrl]+clicks, it pops open a floating window of that editor instead.

addon devs don’t have access to this menu, so impossible to tweak it.

When the user duplicates a window, it is automatically made a floating always-on-top window.

already here, its in the menu, its called"Duppli-float".
but maybe you mean that i should override the actual [SHIFT + border of the area] ? i could do that indeed. im on it.
