Only closing them is limited. And so having "esc" close a QDockWidget may be an easier solution.
I will also look to see if there is a way to limit Tab focus shifting to be internal to a QDockWidget as we discussed that as well.

Whilst I very much appreciate the fact that giving focus to a window will show a hidden window and then give it focus… other programs I use don't do that
I also value the ability to simply show and hide a window without changing focus.
If "…
having 'esc' close a QDockWidget may be an easier [for you I assume] solution…" means me using the actual Esc key, then please provide an option to turn any such feature off. I would rather find the mouse and click the close button.
If I can, I often assign Esc to 'Quit the application'. I can't do that in Sigil… which is fine… but if I forget that, and I hit Esc in Sigil it does nothing, which is also fine, but I would not want Esc doing anything else.
Added: if you were to ask me to rank the issues raised here against the issue of Tab shifting focus between windows, I'd probably rank the latter lower. I put that down to BekkyEbook's .qss patch. IMO it should be a built-in preference in all Qt apps… spotting which control has focus is also hard in other Qt based applications I use.
