Show Gradle Console when running task

Question

How do I get the gradle console to show when I run a gradle task in Android Stduio? When I execute the task, the run dialog pops up but the console does not. I want to be able to see the gradle console so that I can see the output, but I don't want to permantly see the gradle console (pinned mode) as 95% of the time I'd rather have the real estate for the editor.
