Can I dock/combine Simulink library browser window?

Hi all... first day on Simulink.

My understanding is that to use Simulink, I need to have Matlab open the entire time. I also will have the current model I'm working on open, as well as the Simulink Library Browser. So that's 3 windows open at once.

Is there a way to dock everything into 1 window? If not, is there a way to at least dock the Simulink Library Browser in my new model window? I know there's the "stay on top" option, but I'm just trying to decrease the number of windows I have open at one time.

Thanks a bunch!

I was in touch with MATLAB team about some of their GUI design, but I doubt there is going to be a big change. I have the same frustration like you, my hands get tired just after 15 minutes.

I have the same issue. Just if MATLAB allows docking Simulink window into the main MATLAB window, just like MATLAB Scripts, that will make it more friendly in use. Yet it is not possible.

Hi Michael,

To address your question, yes, you need to have MATLAB open while using Simulink. This means you'll have three windows open: MATLAB, your current Simulink model, and the Simulink Library Browser.

Currently, Simulink and the Library Browser can be docked within a single window, but there is no functionality to dock Simulink directly inside the main MATLAB window. This feature might be considered for future updates.

For now, a useful workaround on Windows is to split your screen to manage the windows more efficiently. You can do this by using the following shortcuts:

- `Windows + Left Arrow Key`

- `Windows + Right Arrow Key`

This way, you can adapt two windows on a single screen, making it easier to manage your workspace.

I hope it helps!
