Is there a way to undock the named query editor for easy switching between it and a view? I find myself frequently switching back and forth and scrolling up and down in Project Browser is a bit tedious. I vaguely remember a trick being posted here but can't find it.

I think someone said once that floating named queries was a planned feature for a future release...perhaps 8.3?

Edit: yes, here it is: [Combine Scripts, Views and Named Queries in the same editor pane tabs | Voters | Inductive Automation](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/ignition-features-and-ideas/p/combine-scripts-views-and-named-queries-in-the-same-editor-pane-tabs)

> in 8.3 you'll be able to 'float' named queries and Perspective views, just like you can script tabs in 8.1

I guess that's what I was thinking of.  
Thanks.
