Move output panel view to group

#1

Hi,
I would like to move contents of output panel to a standard group. For example, this is my try to display build results in a group:

window = sublime.active_window() // this should return the view associated with the named output panel build_view = window.find_output_panel("output.exec") if build_view != None: window.set_view_index(build_view, 1, 0)

“If” branch is executed, meaning that view was found, but the set_view_index function doesn’t do anything. Is something like this even possible?

Thanks,
Vjekoslav

I don’t think that’s possible :frowning:

You should change your topic to feature request intead of Technical Support.

And, I would love to see the output panel being a simple read-only view, so +1.

Normal and output views are similar but different at the same time, although I can’t say I would be opposed to being able to move output views around and even having multiple at the same time. This would, however, be more akin to a concept of widgets and require lots of thought to implement properly.

Other than the built-in exec command, plugins can output to a normal view as they want.
