When a tool window is not docked…
- Press the Alt key once
- Press the Spacebar key once. You will get the standard window system menu with Move and Size.
- Select Size
- Now, just arrow towards the window edge you wish to resize, and resize from there.
- Press Enter to commit the resize, or press Esc to cancel resize changes.
Note: Using the Move command from this menu will prevent the docking targets from appearing. If you want docking targets, use yesterday’s tip. This is the same as doing a Ctrl-Drag using the mouse.
Also note: If you press Alt + Spacebar, you’ll get the main Visual Studio window system menu, hence why you must release the alt key before you press the spacebar.
