You get into spatial window mode by clicking the button in the upper

i don't think anyone but Rudolf uses the term "spatial window mode", but it is clearly derived from the "spatial Finder" concept which i first saw in those words in this memorable article by John Siracusa:

and John is following on the concepts of Bruce Tognazzini:

(this page is from 2000, a fact i had to derive because this interaction design guru has neglected to date his pages ...)
