Description (last modified by )
CKEditor v3 had shared spaces sample that allowed to display toolbar in location specified by user.
For example: editor had extra configuration options
sharedSpaces :
{
top : 'topSpace',
bottom : 'bottomSpace'
},
in which id of DOM elements were specified
<div id="topSpace"></div> other code... <div id="bottomSpace"></div>
This makes its V4 equivalent - inline editing not complete.
I think it would be good idea to allow defining toolbar location in inline editing.

I read that sharedSpaces feature has been removed in favor of the floating toolbar (ticket #9377). However, I don't think the floating toolbar solves the same problem as sharedSpaces.
There are a lot of UIs out there that have an omnipresent toolbar fixed at the top with editable fields clearly marked (e.g. http://jejacks0n.github.com/mercury/). In my opinion, sharedSpaces is a good feature because users can clearly see that they are in an "edit mode" without having to interact with contentEditable fields to get feedback.
