Delphi 2007 IDE Forms Arrange

I wondered if there was any keyboard control sequence to return Delphi 2007 IDE back to a "standard positions layout" ?

i.e. Menu bar at top, object inspector on left, working area in middle ... Components tool bar palette .. Project manager window ..

Maybe this is wishful thinking?

No, there is no keyboard command sequence (afaik). But there is a dropdown, originally located in the menu / toolbar. In this dropdown there was four items: <none>, Classic Undocked, Debug Layout and Default Layout. In addition there was a possibility to add your own layouts to the list. If you haven't changed the layout and saved using the standard names, you can revert to the original layout. - Tom Brunberg
There is also a submenu under View where you can select the Desktops. This can be done with the keyboard (but not with a keyboard shortcut). There is also an expert in GExperts which re-selects the currently selected Desktop, so it reverts any manual changes to it you have made but not saved. You can assign a keyboard shortcut to this expert. - dummzeuch

Thanks Tom Brunberg and dummzeuch for your replies.

Yes, I use GExperts. for ctrl-F12 unit find/index tool which is great.

I had success with Tom's suggestion.

I switched the View | Desktops option to "Classic Undocked" and then back to "< None >" option.
