Declined Suggestion: VIEW option to open VIEW over tab window but not keep it there

[David Marcus]

The /w option to VIEW is interesting. It is probably useful that when you use it from a Take Command tab and switch tabs, VIEW hides.

But, when I change the focus to a different app by moving the mouse, the VIEW window also hides. (This may be because I have focus-follows-mouse set. If I move the focus via Alt-Tab, then the VIEW window does not always hide.)

I would like an option that opens VIEW over the tab window, but doesn't try to keep it there.

I'm using TCC 26.00.24 x64 Windows 10 [Version 10.0.18363.752]

That's not what's happening with /W - it is *creating* a new tab window that is running VIEW. It wouldn't make any sense to create a tab window that detached itself.

If you don't want it to stay in the tab window, you can detach it (by right clicking on the tab).

Yes, but that is an extra click. I usually have my windows arranged so I can see the Take Command window. If I want to look at something quickly, it is handy to run LIST. If I am going to be moving windows around, I can just start my text editor on the file. (Not that I care, but when I detach the VIEW /W tab, it goes blank [and it moves].)
