Displaying Console and Debugger at same time in IntelliJ

Question

The default layout has the debugger and console on separate tabs. I see that I can pop the Console as a floating window and even add it as a tab to the "Variables" or "Watches" pane in the Debugger tab. I'd like to have a layout that displays the Console and Debugger information at the same time (like a split pane, or a separate pane on the "Debugger" tab because it is useful to see the output to console while stepping through the debugger.

Any suggestions on how this can be accomplished? I'm using IntelliJ 13.1
