Anyone else find the floating widget in Google Docs obstructive? Can it be minimized?

Been using Wordtune in Google Docs for technical writing. The floating widget constantly blocks my view of the text I'm editing.

* It covers key lines when I'm reviewing YAML or scripts inline.
* Can't find a way to dock it permanently or minimize it.
* Having to drag it around every few minutes breaks flow.

Is there a setting I'm missing, or is this just how it works? Looking for a way to keep it accessible but not obstructive.

That's a common pain point, especially when you're working with structured text like YAML. I've had the same issue during code reviews in Docs.

The widget currently doesn't have a minimize or dock setting. Your workflow of dragging it is the intended workaround, which I agree disrupts concentration. A temporary fix is to place it in the far right margin, but it will snap back when you scroll.

Have you sent this feedback through Wordtune's support channel? As a moderator, I often see that vendors prioritize features when multiple users report the same friction. This seems like a perfect case for a toggle to auto-hide the widget until you hover near it.


Let's keep it real.
