- To switch between those windows, use the buttons (#4 Mode switch in the upper right),
- the shortcut <kbd class="mod2">M</kbd>, or the menu
- <kbd class="menu">Window > Editor <em>(or Mixer)</em> > Show</kbd>.
- Both windows can be visible at the same time (eg. for a multi-monitor
- setup) using <kbd class="menu">Detach</kbd> in the same menu.</p>
