Automatically open unpinned Terminal on change

Hi, I like to have my terminal at the bottom of my IDE, unpinned for practical reasons (more vertical space). 

Is there a way to have it automatically opened up if something changes in the terminal? E.g. I am using some npm watchers and compilation scripts and I would like to see the Terminal if the output changes (basically once the compilation is finished and either success or error is shown). Then (as it is unpinned) it would disappear once I click outside of it (anywhere else within the IDE).

I haven't found such option.

Thanks

Hello Kristian,

There is no such option in the built-in terminal settings. Also, I have quickly checked the YouTrack for any similar requests but was not able to find anything, so you may submit your own:

Nevermind, I actually covered this use case with a macro. I recorded a macro that runs these 2 actions:

  1. Save All
  2. Open terminal (which is NOT pinned)

And then bound this action to Ctrl+S hotkey. Works well for me. Every time I save my project the terminal pops up and once I click inside the editor, it disappears since it is unpinned.
