Menu
New to Python and Spyder. How do I reposition the panes in Spyder. I had them set with the editor in the upper left, the object inspector in the upper right, and the ipython console in the lower left. Somehow I messed it up, and can't figure out how to reposition them. Have crawled all over the web, but no joy.
Thanks

The options menu in the top right of the Plots pane offers several ways to customize how your plots are displayed.
Q: How do I reset Spyder's preferences to the defaults? Either use the Reset Spyder to factory defaults under Tools in Spyder's menu bar, the Reset Spyder settings Start menu shortcut (Windows), or run spyder --reset in your system terminal (Anaconda prompt on Windows).
You can enable panel moving by switching off the option in View > Lock panes and toolbars , or pressing Ctrl+Shift+F5 . From there, you can drag around panes as you wish. When you're done, you can lock them again with the same process.
You can separate cells by lines starting with either: #%% (standard cell separator) # %% (standard cell separator, when file has been edited with Eclipse) # <codecell> (IPython notebook cell separator)
In the Spyder 4.0+ version, go to View menu, unselect "lock panes and toolbars" then you can drag the top area of each pane and move them freely.

Other answers are correct that you can recover past arrangements of the panes via the View/Window layouts menu, but if you want to actually create a new layout, that's another matter.
The fact is, it's pretty easy, once you know how. To move Help to the same pane that File explorer is in (in the picture below), the steps are:
