Explain the problem as you see it
To use Tana everyday, I would want it always visible on the left 1/3 of the screen with all other windows taking up the right 2/3. This is how I've used Workflowy for years. In Tana, random things will open up a horizontal sidebar when I'm not expecting it. For example, CMD+K > Go to Today. Or the Supertag edit area. This makes for a horrible viewing experience at the width that I keep Tana. Further, even if I mouse my way over and choose to dock above/below, it doesn't remember my preference and opens the next thing to the right again.
Why is this a problem for you?
It makes having more than one panel open at a time unusable and requires the mouse to interact and fix the problem.
Suggest a solution
Simply have an option to disable panels, or for vertical-only whereby all new panels are opened above or below the currently visible panel. And/or if a user clicks any panel to move it there, remember that setting globally going forward.

Heyo! Until that is fixed you can use Shift+Click to open above. Check this Help Centre article: https://help.tana.inc/docks-and-panels.html
Sadly this doesn't work when configuring tags, which is the most frequent annoyance with this issue.
Also would love this. Side panels make me feel lost and disoriented when browsing my notes. I am absolutely fine navigating like in a browser with back/forward and keep one full screen view of what I want to focus on.
