Question about sidebar and hotkeys
I use multiple monitors, not all of them are the same size.
This causes problems if I strech the window over two monitors with different sizes. I don't mind the window being larger than the smaller monitor. I still gain space within FG.
What I have problems with is that the sidebar is forced to be on a smaller window because of monitor placement. It goes off the bottom of the screen if all of the are expanded.
The other problem is that the hotkeys are on the bottom, and so I can't see or interact with the hotkeys that are off the larger screen.
What I'd like to know is how difficult would it be to create an extension that would allow for undocking of the sidebar and undocking and resizing of the (width) of the hotkeys?

Impossible. Extensions do not have the ability to take windows or graphic components outside of the main application window. (It's an architectural issue with Unity. Big discussion, lots of caveats.)
You will need to size your FG window to the height of the smaller monitor or get a graphics card that has a driver that can run the monitors at different resolutions so that they appear to be a single monitor with compatible resolutions. You might be able to do this yourself by lowering the resolution of your larger monitor.

Sure, you can look at the Better Menus and the FG Tabber extensions. I believe both of them do similar things.

All that any extension would be able to do is change where the items are anchored (top, left, bottom, right). By default, the hot keys are anchored to the bottom and the sidebar on the right. While there are no mechanisms to change those in the default coding, extensions could be written to change those things around (but those would have to be written and maintained by community).

Thanks, Better Menu's did what I was looking for. In a different way than what I was thinking, but that is fine.

There is no mechanism to do this. The hot key bar will always stretch across the bottom of the window. I looked at the coding, and it's hardcoded to always be at the bottom (but vertical height of bar can be customized).
