Amazing!!!!!

Just gave it a few minutes test run and have only few comments at this 
point.

- when doing "ctrl-shift-i" and the cursor is e.g. in 
dDockForm_test.CentralPanel it would be nice if that item is selected in 
the tree list and preferably its children should be expanded
- "ctrl-shift-i doesn't do anything in the dDockFrom_test if one is in 
the "floating" window
- pressing "ctrl-shift-i" shouldn't close it but re-position itself in 
the treelist based on where the focus was
- "highlight" doesn't seem to do anything
