dialogs won't dock

Should be possible, although a good bit of screen area is required for those three left side docks.

Various ways but this worked: https://youtu.be/PFvV6b2Og7o

Personally I do not like the PS type layouts although they do seem popular. Half the problems you get here are because the user can not see / has closed the tool options, does not know what settings are in force.

All in the eye of the beholder
