This is now possible after

  • VS Code 1.42 (January 2020) which allowed the "panel, which holds the Output, Debug Console, Terminal, and Problems panes" to be "moved to the left side of the editor".
  • VS Code 1.46 (May 2020) which allowed
    • "Moving views between Side Bar and Panel"

      Perhaps you would prefer a view from the Side Bar to be located in the Panel or vice versa. To do this, you can now drag a view by its header or an entire group by its icon or title from its current placement and move it to the desired location.

    • "Grouping views"

      You might also want to group some views together that come from different extensions or you feel the default groups of built-in views aren't quite right for you. You can both move views into existing groups or create new groups for a select set of views. This works across the Side Bar and Panel just as before.

With those improvements, you can move the Output tab to the left side and the Debug Console to the bottom (or vice-versa) and view them both at the same time. While at it, it's also nice to have a separate view of the Variables tab, and now all 3 can be viewed at the same time.
