[IDE] Form Placer: a pre-installed desktop map for the form designer

[fibodevy]

Form Placer is pre-installed on devel. It draws a miniature of your desktop in the corner of the form designer, so you place a form where it will actually open instead of typing Left/Top into the Object Inspector.

Drag the form rectangle to move it, arrow keys nudge it, double click centers it. Dragging sets the form's Position to poDesigned by itself. Right click gives the full Position list, "Center on screen", "Hide desktop map" and "Options ...".

On a multi-monitor setup every monitor is drawn at its real position and size, so you can drop the form on the secondary screen and see the run-time placement right away.

Options are in Tools > Options > Environment > Form Placer: show or hide the map, move the form while dragging, map width, arrow key step, and the colors of the desktop background, monitor edges, form rectangle, form edge and title strip.

The map lives in the docked form designer, so the DockedFormEditor package has to be active.
