Is there a way that I can have all PROJECT MANAGEMENT related panes TOGETHER in one window on the 2nd screen?
I mean team explorer, task and query windows, etc.
Not just "floating panes", I want several panes, docked in ONE SEPARATE WINDOW.
You can dock panel to panel. This creates new window.
E.g.: detach one pane you want, then detach 2nd and drag-drop it to the first (you'll see docking helper).

I've currently connected two monitors via a dock to my notebook.
When I'm running my console application, the console window always pops up on the first monitor. How can I change that it's automatically opened on another monitor, e.g. on monitor 3? Maybe there is a property I need to modify?
It's very annoying to always drag the console window onto the monitor on which my IDE is opened.
Console applications (unlike GUI applications) don't create their own window; that's done by Windows, and in the case when you're running in an already created console, then you kinda inherit, e.g., cmd's window.
What you can do, though, is to find your window and move it to a different monitor.
Another option is to change the window manager settings for that application in the properties of the console window under Layout. Especially the check box »Let system position window«. To do so, first move the window where you'd like it to appear, then open the properties, go to the Layout tab, and just click »OK«.
I'm using PyCharm with multiple monitors on Mac OSX (10.10.5), normally you can drag windows off to a separate monitor. In PyCharm that works, but they (and in particular the Run window) snap back to the main monitor.
I've only seen this on the latest PyCharm 5 CE though its possible older versions also had the problem. I've searched all the settings and searched online, but can't find a setting that makes the window stay where it was placed.
Right click on the tab and select View Mode as Window.
Then you can move the window to another monitor.
It's crappy behaviour from the best python IDE out there.
There is a OSX solution but i'm not sure if you will like it:
You can enable old style multiple screen support again in OSX by going to System Preferences, Mission Control and uncheck "Displays have separate spaces". Now your floating windows will not snap back and you can even extend your PyCharm main window over the screens.
The downside of this solution is that you'll have the OSX dock and main menu only on your main monitor. I hope Jetbrains will fix this behaviour soon.
Another way to achieve what you want is to open multiple instances of the project. When you try to open the project for the second time you can choose "open project in new window". You can drag the new window to the second screen; it won't snap back to your primary monitor.
For Ubuntu and Windows users landing up here:
Press Shift + F4 or
Right-click and select 'Move Tab to New Window'
Drag the newly created window to the next screen
The best option is to detach an editor window and drag it to your second monitor.
I have taken to participating in mouseless Monday's and Friday's. I have set my windows float and dock tabs to hotkeys that allow me to pull them out or put them back in; however, I want to be able to choose which location to put the tabbed document in. I operate in landscape mode so I regularly have a bottom and a top window in visual studio. I would like to press a hotkey and send the selected document to that part of the diamond guide. Anyone know a plugin or how I can do this?
There's an entire article dedicated to navigating the IDE using just the keyboard, with a section on docking windows and tabs using the diamond guide from the keyboard. So yes, it is possible, and you don't need a plugin for it:
To move and dock tool windows from the keyboard
Navigate to the tool window you intend to move and give it focus.
On the Window menu, click Dockable.
Press ALT + Space and then choose Move.
The docking guide diamond appears.
Use the ARROW keys to move the window to a new location.
The mouse pointer moves with the window as you use the ARROW keys.
When you have reached the new location, use the ARROW keys to move the mouse pointer over the correct portion of the guide diamond.
An outline of the tool window appears in the new docking location.
Press ENTER.
The tool window snaps into place at the new docking location.
Alternatively, you can cheat by simply controlling the mouse pointer with the keyboard, through a nifty system accessibility feature called MouseKeys.
I'd like to make an application which user can drag and drop tab to make a new window contains
a tab control user holds. What i am looking for is the exact same functionality of Google
Chrome browser for window and Internet explorer 9. Both Applications create a new window if
if user drags and drop a tab out of original window. and vice versa.
How do i do this? Any advice or sample code will be appreciated
It's not a simple task, but if you work through it bit by bit...
Most tab controls will allow you to detect mousedown (and maybe even drag) and when the cursor is moved away from the tab row, you create a new window with a single tab (and maybe a frame depending on what you want).
When they drop, show the rest of the frame as required.
As for moving the content, this depends on your application layout but it can be as simple as changing the container of a control (SetParent()) or the destination of a render.
You can also just drag an "image" of the tab and only create the window when they drop.
Getting any more detail than this is going to be preety much impossible without specifics (and you actually accept an answer).
Is it possible to detach the console/log window in Xcode 4?
Even better, how?
Go to Xcode preferences, and open the Behavior tab.
Tell Xcode to open a tab called "Debugger" when "Run Pauses" or "Run Starts". Then run it, and break that Debugging tab out into another window (drag it off the tab bar into its own window by just letting it drop outside the current window). Now reform it to your hearts content; it will stay that way. Also don't forget the little controls at the top right of the console window that slide the local variable display out of the way so you can have a full-width console on demand. I am not sure about keyboard shortcuts for that yet.
I usually keep the Debugging tab and one other tab in a separate window, for debugging tasks, and all my other editing tabs in a different window (and the debugging window on a separate monitor with the simulator). With the settings above it also means that, while editing a debugger reaching a breakpoint, it will not interrupt my editing by suddenly bringing forth the console.
Sure, create a new tab, drag it off the original window, and expand the debugger area to be the whole tab. Now, whether Xcode will remember that tab and its placement is another matter. File a bug with Apple to let them know your displeasure.
Taking jshier's advice a step further, you can do File -> New Window, and expand the debug window to take up the entire window. But you have to manually expand it every time you open it. Ugh.
