Output window docking suggestion

I find that the output window is a bit of a pain in the arse sometimes for obscuring what you are working on and getting in the way ctrl-tabbing around

Would it be a good idea to have an option to dock the output window to the bottom of the MDI workspace?

Proposal:

* Provide a docking option for the tool output window
* Provide an option (on each tool completion) to focus the current text entry to either the docked output window (for jumping to code) or to the previous document. Default to jumping to the docked window if the tool output is unsuccessful.

Ditto the search window - if we could have the option to have them in one window with tabs to switch between them like a number of editors do that would be useful

I like this idea.

I never use the Clip library, so I could hold in place of that the search window.
All extra windows should be dockable (except maybe some of the modal ones).
