Setting up the UI for me...

Hello, I have some questions about setting up the UI in DAZ Studio.

1. This is probably the simple one...how do I "redock" any undocked windows (such as "Cameras" and "Lights")?

I've been playing around with different layouts, because the default layout (with palettes and tools windows on both sides of the working screen) is like working in mud for me. I have four monitors, three of them right in front of me, so I've been playing with the idea of moving some of the tools over to the side monitors.

2. Has anybody else here found a good way that works with your workflow?

3. On the matter of key-binding, I'm FINALLY starting to feel like I'm encountering some of the same-same functions I do over and over again, such as applying smoothing. Some of these functions are rather annoyingly long to have to perform even with mouse-clicking.

I'm curious, what are your most-used functions that you decided to create keybindings for? I am thinking of buying a gaming keyboard with a specialized right-hand controller so that I can continue to use my trackball with my left hand and the special gaming controller with my right.

4. Has anybody ever thought of using a MIDI controller to manipulate the various elements of DAZ Studio? I have three mixer controllers on my desk (and numerous other MIDI controllers), with very good fader and rotary controls. It would be wonderful to be able to somehow use this or another hardware device to adjust the various parameter sliders in the software rather than poking and prodding at the D/S screen elements with a mouse or trackball. This would be much like I can use the device to adjust the sliders in my music composition software. Probably wishful thinking...
