How can I keep the "Console Drawer" hidden by default every time I open Chrome DevTools?

When I have DevTools open, there is a little button that toggles Hide Drawer. and Show Console.. Besides being inconsistently named, the 'drawer' is very annoying to me because it takes up so much of the little screen real estate allotted for devtools (i'm bottom docked). How can I keep this 'drawer' closed permanently? Or if I can't do that, can I at least keep the height of it as low as possible? (it returns to a default height every time I open it)
