Auto hide panel
Similar to behavior in Visual Studio, is there a way we could get the terminal to show/hide automatically? Leaving some sort of tab at the bottom of the screen? It opens when: 1. User mouses over the tab 2. Something is written to the terminal It hides when: 1. User clicks outside of the open terminal window. 2. The terminal has not been written to within a set period of ~10 seconds. Ex: I'm working on an Angular 2 application using the angular-cli build tool. When I'm writing code or clicking through the UI I don't particularly care about what's displaying in the terminal. But as soon as I save my changes and the build process starts, I DO want to quickly see what the current state of the build is. So after saving a file, when the CLI tool starts writing to the terminal, it would pop-up from the bottom, and as long as my mouse isn't hovering over it, it will hide again after several seconds of inactivity.

The biggest problem with this is if the target URL doesn't load but also doesn't quickly error out, like e.g.
Google wants to build up a private web here.
