When I'm writing console applications in Linux, In need to show the
results in IDE in terminal output window, but this Window disappears
after running the application, every time I should click on alt+ctrl+o
to display that output.
I'm using Lazarus 1.4.4 on docked mode using AnchorDocking.
Is it possible to put terminal output window inside docked Lazarus IDE
to be visible permanently.

You said you're using anchor docking, so just drag the docking handle
of terminal output window to wherever you want it to be docked.

Finally I found the docking handler, and it works fine.
Thanks

hello,
in july 2015 Martin_Fr has said :
QuoteOn Windows "Terminal Output" does not exist, because console apps
always
have there own window (though if someone knew how to implement it ...)
To see writeln output of a console application on Windows uncheck
(-WG) option

Yeah, blame Windows for such a "feature". There actually is a possible
partial implementation, by assuming programs don't modify its console
handling / standard streams, thus reading from their stdout/stderr
stream will work the same as in *nix platforms.

Thank you all

I have updated my Arabic Object Pascal book by these important
information and I have removed readln; command from all console
application samples,  because it confuses beginners. All other
development tools does not require readln to let the user read the
output.
Later I should update English book version
