I was wondering if there is a better way to permanently dock the modify tab to a side panel. I use this tab so often but revit frequently changes tabs through various actions but I always need the geometry, modify, and measure commands and wish I didn't have to change to that tab so often. I know you can undock the panels from the tab but then they just float over my windows and I have to move them again.
Is it possible to dock these commands to the bottom or side?

Read the part under "Tab Switching Behavior".
Not quite, I would like to dock the modify tab permanently to the right side of the screen. Don't mind the behavior of the tabs when in other commands but many times when framing or placing walls, I have to switch the tabs back and forth to complete what I'm doing. Trim, extend, and fillet are extremely useful to me in and out of editing sketches and profiles. There are at least 14 commands I use all the time from the tab, and adding them all to the quick access menu seems a little excessive. I'd rather have the whole tab docked to the side of the screen.
This information about noun-verb vs verb-noun selection may also be useful to you...
You maybe remember what AutoCAD looked like when darn near anything could be a floating or docked tool palette. I think this is the litter that the Ribbon was brought in to tidy up, in both programs. That said, I feel your pain.
Did you ever find a viable solution to lock the modify tab in a location? We have so many add-ins built into our Revit tab template that I cannot uncheck, and the modify tab keeps going back to the far right, sometimes even hiding under the pull-down as there is no more room. It is simply annoying. I have to click CTRL and move it back to the beginning. Over the course of my day the modify tabs keeps moving to the right. @Anonymous, please fix this.
