Reaper’s Docker

Managing Windows With Docker

Reaper's Docker feature lets you dock various windows like the effects browser and routing matrix into a container. This helps you maintain a clutter-free environment while keeping all necessary tools within reach.

With the Docker's drag-and-drop capability, you can personalize your workspace as you go.

  • Look in the view menu for things you might want to dock.
  • When dragging the docker around, watch for the blue indicators that pop up, showing you where you can dock the window next.
  • Right-clicking on dockable windows gives you options to dock or undock, allowing you to customize how you manage your space.
  • Alt + d (Option + d, or a Mac), brings up the docker window, or makes it disappear.
  • Once you have a bit of experience in Reaper, put your most used items in the docker, for easy access.
