Howdy,
I want to make the Attribute editor when I am Painting Weights "float" so it doesn't go away when I switch to the Channel Box. I know it's possible but for the life of me I forget how to do it! Can somone help?
That's in "Window>>Settings/Preferences>>Preferences>>Interface"
And then there's a switch to open the Attribute Editor in a separate window.
Man! I can't believe I didn't see that!... I looked through that whole menu and somehow missed it. Can we say brainfart? 
Thanks!
