How to make DEBUG CONSOLE as default tab in Visual Studio Code?

I'm using Visual Studio Code to learn Python. How can I make DEBUG CONSOLE as default tab in Visual Studio Code? Whenever I debug, this tool loads terminal which has lot of text which is confusing. I click on DEBUG CONSOLE tab to see my output. Wondering if there is any way to get rid of that terminal tab (just the tab, I understand we need terminal for code to work). I tried right clicking on TERMINAL tab and hiding it, but it hides only temporarily. Help appreciated.

Also, what does OUTPUT tab do?

You can press the hotkey to get the debug console:

Windows: Ctrl + Shift + D 
macOS: shift + command + Y

Edit: In your project repo, find .vscode/launch.json file (create one if none exists) and add the following:

{
    "version": "3.5",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Python: Current File",
            "program": "${file}",
            "console": "none"
        }
    ]
}

Then relaunch VSCode for the change to take effect.
