Is there a way to make IntelliJ IDEA show output under the editor?

At the moment, IntelliJ IDEA's main screen looks like this:

.............................................................
|                                                            |
|                                                            |
|------------------Y.........................................|
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|..................`........................................'|
|                                                            |
| Here is the output...                                      |
|                                                            |
|                                                            |
|                                                            |
|                                                            |
|............................................................'

I tried everything to make the output dockable like in the ASCII art below, and failed. Is there any way to make it look like:

..............................................................
|                                                            |
|                                                            |
|------------------Y.........................................|

|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  |                                        ||
|                  :........................................'|
|                  |                                         |
|                  | Here is the output...                   |
|                  |                                         |
|                  |                                         |
|                  |                                         |
|                  |                                         |
|............................................................'

Yes it is quite simple since version 13:

TL;DR

Settings -> Appearance -> Widescreen tool window layout

Here's my initial layout:

enter image description here

Now go to Settings -> Appearance and check the box for Widescreen tool window layout:

And now you have the nice layout you were expecting:

If you make both the project and output windows pinned and docked you should get the layout you're looking for.
