When i tried to dock the styles & formatting or navigator dialogs to the left or right, it is pretty much impossible. But i came across the shortcut key that someone mentioned that it was possible to do it with ctrl+shift+f10. It would be great if some docking option was available when a user right-clicks in these dialogs as most users wont know the shortcut key or double clicking while holding ctrl.

Tested on windows and linux.

Nice idea Jay!
Apart from the context menu, a control on top right (see side bar) is possible too.

(By the way: dragging with the mouse, until the mouse pointer is up to the side of the main window, also works).

Cheers,
Cor

Same applies for Calc. I guess Framework is the proper component.

Doesnt work for me. :D

Tried everything possible that i could think of but nothing works other than the shortcut. Weird that dragging a toolbar to dock to the right or left is so easy, but the dockable dialogs arent.
