One toolbar for multiple editor instances

Topic sums up my goal. I have CKEditor working based on the sample where you double click on a div and turn it into an RTE. This is working well, and I'm very happy with the editor in general, but since the large toolbars take up a lot of space, I'd like to just have one toolbar off to the side and have it control whichever div on the page is currently an editor. Or have multiple simultaneous instances of the editor and have the buttons interact with the one which has focus, whatever is easier.

So what is the easiest way to do this?

This is exactly what I want to do. Does CKEditor allow for this?

I'm also looking to do this. Ideally, as one of the options proposed in the opening post, any button's clicked in the toolbar would apply to the area that has focus.

If anybody has any ideas, please post them here. Or if a .NET wrapper is developed, as it was for the FCKeditor, perhaps separate controls could be developed for the toolbar and the editor area.

I am doing this in Fckeditor but I am curious to achieve the same functionality in the newer version.
