Intellij IDEA: creating a pane under the source code

Having used Eclipse for more years than I care to admit, I'm currently trying to get adjusted to IntelliJ (2016.2, Community) but I'm having a hard time with the totally different UI metaphors/concepts.

I'd like to be able to have a window layout like this:

+--------+------------------------
|        |                       |
|   (1)  |                       |
|        |                       |
|+-------+     Source editor     |
|        |                       |
|   (2)  |                       |
|        |-----------------------+
|        |                       |
|        |  Console output etc.  | 
+--------+-----------------------+

Luckily, this question helped me with splitting panes to get (1) and (2).

However, I have not been able to find out how to rearrange tool windows so that I can get a (for example) Terminal tool window that is directly underneath the source editor pane, instead of one that looks like this: 

+--------+------------------------
|        |                       |
|   (1)  |                       |
|        |                       |
|+-------+     Source editor     |
|        |                       |
|   (2)  |                       |
+--------------------------------+
|                                |
|      Console output etc.       | 
+--------------------------------+

Open "Settings" > "Appearance & Behavior" > "Appearance" and enable "Widescreen tool window layout".

Tested in DataGrip and PyCharm. Should be exactly the same in IDEA, Webstorm as far as i know - i used them all and the UI is the same everywhere (and i like that).

You could just float the panels next to your IntelliJ main windows like this screenshot.
