Originally assigned to: @kics223w1 on GitHub.

Description

I often want to use breakpoints to intercept and modify traffic - but I also want to be able to continue to see the flow list to monitor what else is going on.
Currently I can only see either the breakpoint tab or the flow list but not both.
Is there any chance you could allow undocking of the tabs so that I could have both visible at the same time?

It's only possible if you're using macOS. On Windows, it's an ElectronJS app, which doesn't allow to have separate windows. Therefore, we introduce the Tab

Thanks for the quick response... that is a shame. At least there are hotkeys for switching between tabs - but will mean a lot of switching back and forward between them...
Maybe another option, which might work when I'm specifically editing requests/responses on breakpoints, might be a hotkey to "Execute and switch back to the main Proxyman tab immediately"?
(I guess I could just create myself a macro to simulate Ctrl+Enter then Ctrl+1)

sure, we can add Control+1, +2 to switch Tabs, like Google Chrome does.

"Execute and switch back to the main Proxyman tab immediately"?

I prefer not doing it because it adds new settings

Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2 to switch tabs is already working in Proxyman... I just tried it.
So at least that makes it a little quicker to switch between them.
