Sort of, but it's kind of finicky because you would have to disable the regular one since you can't have 2 context areas existing simultaneously and also you would have to remember to show the floating one before running a command because commands expect to access the context area to read their controls and if it does not exist you'll get script errors.

But if you want to experiment with it, you would disable the regular one by opening up ui\SidePane.htm and removing or commenting out line #60 which says:

<moi:SidePaneContextArea style="display:block;">

That's what sets up the regular context area.

With it removed you'll get a script error at startup, to remove that some part of SidePaneTabs.js needs to also be edited, but I think you can just dismiss that one and not worry about it, then to make a floating context area, set this on a shortcut key:

script: /* Open scene browser dialog */ moi.ui.createDialog( 'SidePaneContextArea.htm', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:120,defaultHeight:220', moi.ui.mainWindow );


You will need to open the floating one before starting a command or the command will likely throw a script error and fail. But when it's open you should see the little gray line expand and the command options will fill in there and the options will all be active.
