IntelliJ IDEA - How to reattach and place Console tab back to IDE

Am new to IntelliJ IDEA (am using 2017.1.3)...

Accidentally, made my Console tab window float and can't seem to reattach it to IntelliJ IDEA. When I run the Debugger, it launches as a separate window (which is very annoying).

Is there a way to reattach it back to the main window but on right of the Projects view and right underneath the Source Editor view?

Attached is a screenshot of the issue, at hand (which one can click on to see it in high res):

Update

Okay, somehow (by doing a lot of clicking and dragging), this is the closest that I've come to what I've want. The thing that's bothersome is that I can only see the Console (stdout) updated when the debugging session is over (not in real-time, as I've would been able to do in Eclipse). :(

From IntelliJ IDEA 2023.2.1, the configuration is added in to individual console as Settings.

In the top right of the required Tab, Tap on Settings icon -> View Mode -> Dock Pinned. This will be the same steps for other tabs like 'Terminal', 'Services' etc.,
