How do I keep the console window visible when using the debugger

(1/2) > >>

papagym:
While debugging a simple program with CB, the console screen gets hidden behind the editor screen as soon as I use step into. 

Is there a way to keep it visible so I don't have to minimize the editor to see it whenever I use step into?

Yes, place the windows tiled horizontally, or make the console window to be always on top (if it is possible in you de/wm).
The debugger doesn't know about windows produced by other programs, so it cannot raise them.
Also using step-in will leave you back in the debugger, so most people expect that the editor has focus and it is visible.

papagym:
I would like to have both the debugger window open and the console window on top of it. So I can see them both at the same time to see what happening.  Was not aware that you could make the console window be always on top.  How do I do that? Is there a hidden menu at the top of the console to do this?

I don't think I want to use them horizontally, since I can pin both of the window to the task bar in Windows 7 and just click on the opposite one to open it

Thanks

I don't know if win7 has this feature. Most windows manager on linux has it though.

papagym:
 What is this supposed to mean?

"Most windows manager on linux has it though"

If I were a Linux user how do they keep them both open?
