- Immediately above, below, or to the right of the command panel tabs.
- The outer edge of the command panel when docked, or, when floating, at the right or left edge.
- The title bar of a floating toolbar or the "handle" of a docked toolbar. The handle is found at the top end of a vertical docked toolbar and the left end of a horizontal docked toolbar.
