Dock logcat window on a side of Android Studio - android-studio

I hope not to be off topic.
I consider Android's logcat window in Android Studio horribly annoying, even working with two monitors.
To open the logcat window, that often needs to be fairly big, my procedure is:
click below on "Android Monitor"
select the current running device (one time only)
click on that tiny and almost invisible icon on the extreme right
reduce again the Android Monitor that I don't need at all
most of the times resize and move the logcat window.
Whenever a change has to be written or something has to be seen on the emulator, the logcat window needs to be moved or closed, because it stands on top of every window, and this leads to perform that same sequence again after maybe few minutes.
Debugging using logcat becomes a pain, made of opening and closing that same window dozens of times.
I want that window to popup or dock automatically with one single icon click or with a key combination from the right, or the left, like for example "Android Model", without getting crazy every time. One click shows it, one click hides it.
Is it possible?

Change taskbar menu in Tauri

I'm using Tauri and would like to change the menu items shown when clicking my application in the taskbar using the right mouse button (Windows/Linux) or double click (MacOS).
For example Firefox shows "Open a New Window" and music players often show "Play/Pause" or "Next track" buttons. How to do that with Tauri?
I'm aware of SystemTrayMenu in Tauri, but that only seems to affect the system tray, not the task bar.
(What I mean by "taskbar": the line of application icons that you click to open them, and that usually indicate which ones are running. I think MacOS calls it Dock, in Windows it's at the bottom between start button and clock, and Linux isn't very homogeneous but in Ubuntu it's vertically on the left by default. I do not mean the system tray of usually smaller icons that are almost always next to the clock, that are usually more like background services. I.e. I mean where your browser usually shown up, not where your VPN usually shows up.)
Tauri does not support this at the moment (2022-06-27). You may file a feature request.

Android Studio creates this kind of overlay on top of everything else showing part of the code. How to disable?

https://i.imgur.com/M4pgbiw.png[![Android_Studio_overlay][1]][1]
I sometimes get this randomly on top of everything when using Android Studio. These lines show randomly and the only way I have to remove it is by restarting the whole IDE.
Sometimes it's 3 lines, sometimes 6. Sometimes I can double-click on it and it takes me to that part of the code, sometimes it doesn't react at all if I click on it.
Right now, even if I minimize the Android Studio Window, this "overlay" is on top of everything else, even the Desktop.
I've looked online and the only thing that looks like it is the "code lens" option that appears when hovering the scrolling bar, but that's not it.
Does anyone know why does that happen and how to disable it?
follow the steps :
Editor -> General -> Appearance
find : Show Code Lens on scrollbar hover, and disable it
Second option would be : - If you right click on the scroll bar you will see checked the option "show code lens". Uncheck and you are good to go.

Why is my Android Studio emulator screen only visible in the task bar

I am trying to run my Android Studio applications using my emulator. But when i try to run it emulator only shows up like this:
Emulator stuck in taskbar - Windows 10
I have created multiple Virtual devices though..and all of these have same issue. Sadly, I have no control over my emulator except if i hover over it then only the screen for emulator is displayed but the view is minimized and as soon as I move my mouse away or even if i double click the screen nothing happens. By the way i'm using windows 10 and Android Studio 3.6.3. My problem is similar to Android Studio emulator gets stuck minimised in task bar. But this question has not been helpful to me in fixing my problem.
Mabye it opens somewhere else: Try the following:
- Press SHIFT+CTRL
- Right Click on the Program showing up in the taskbar.
- Select the "Move" Window option
- Use the keyboard (Left Arrow/Right Arrow) <-/ -> keys to move the window to the center of the screen.
- Try holding down the left arrow key for a while to see the Window outline. Try moving right/up/down if the window outline is still not visible.
- Hit enter when you can see the Window outline move to the center of the screen.
It appears that the desktop extends beyond the Screen Display and the program window seems hidden. Moving the Window either to the Left / Right / Top/ Bottom of the screen helps.

How to make the Android-Studio run window (logcat) sticky and prevent it from automatically hiding?

I have dual screens on my Windows desktop and I like to keep Android Studio run logcat on one of them open all the time. Every time I hit Run the logcat window automatically hides and I need to click on the tab to make it appear again, which is annoying. Is there a setting where I can keep the logcat window always visible?
To do that
Simply open the Logcat window once more...
Click on the settings icon at the far right
Then select Pinned Mode there
This should work...i hope it helped...

Auto documentation in android studio no longer goes away automatically, and have to manually close. How do I re-enable the default behavior?

I somehow turned the documentation popup to be manually closed. It's incredibly annoying and I can't find the setting to undo it. Whatever I did adds maximize, minimize buttons and these windows have to be manually closed now.
I actually found out. It's called pinned mode. I got into it by clicking the pin icon on the window at the top right. Of course once you're in pinned mode, and you try to deselect it from the gear, nothing happens.
How to fix
enable toolbars
hit the red X to restore popup
