If you want to restore the default window positions:
1. Press ALT+F1 to hide the Book Browser.
2. Drag & drop the TOC Window right of the Code View window.
3. Press ALT+F1 to unhide the Book Browser window.
Alternatively, close Sigil, edit sigil.ini and delete the toolbars entry under [mainwindow]. |

Doitsu - thanks, but didn't I effectively do that by reinstalling and recreating a fresh config folder, After configuring to my taste (removing toolbars, setting fonts and colours, changing kb shorts etc) and docking the panels as I want them, I was back in the same boat.
BTW I always use F2 to do line item edits, so I always remove or disable the F1 key - permanently; if I'm editing a file name or a value in metadata edit a the last thing I need is to leap off to a help website or even look at a local CHM. So I have the kb short for show/hide BB toggle set to Shift+Ctrl+B.
In the calibre editor which I assume uses the same Qt docking feature as Sigil, I have configured the Files, Live CSS, and TOC panels to dock as tabs on the left edge in that LTR order. When it opens a file, the Files tab (left most) is shown. I don't recall doing anything specific to make that happen. Although I do recall it was a PITA to get the three tabs to show in that order, so I'm loathe to mess with it.
IMO the docking tabs badly need a context menu and kb shorts (move tab left/right, show next/prev tab, remove tab etc), I'm guessing Qt doesn't provide the hooks - like there's no tool tip on action items Ψ².

MikiTee - hmmm, I'm almost certain the BB panel was shown when I opened an epub in the not too far distant past. I avoid using the mouse so I tend to notice this sort of thing. But I could mistaken. It would interesting to know on what basis Sigil (or Qt) decides which tab takes priority.
To overcome the 'problem' I removed the TOC panel. Alt+V followed by a couple of up-arrows is not that hard :lol:
