Proposed changes

If the configuration does not define a Mode to dock a new window into, the current system chooses the last-used editor mode. If there are more editor modes available, the opened editor may end up in an unsuitable position. 
The application (or plugins) should be able to select precise Mode to dock new windows into. If no plugin wants to specify the position, the current default will be used.
