Instructions how to decouple the "Plugin Editor" window into a stand-alone window. If you do not like the behavior of the detached editor dock, put this in your startup script::

  ##---IMPORTS
  
  from PyQt4.QtCore import Qt
  from PyQt4.QtGui import QMainWindow
  import spykeviewer.api as spyke
  
  ##---EDITOR-ALTERNATIVE
  
  # create a new window
  w = QMainWindow(spyke.window)
  w.setWindowTitle('EDITOR WINDOW')
  w.addDockWidget(Qt.RightDockWidgetArea, spyke.window.pluginEditorDock)
  w.addToolBar(spyke.window.pluginToolBar)
  w.show()
  
  # save the window reference for later use
  spyke.window.editor_window = w
