Can I open the Output Window as a split rather than a floating window?

Sometimes it would be nice to see the test error output while browsing through the file. Is this possible? Currently, when I run a test, I just get the popup which disappears when I navigate away.

I've added a new option open_win to the output.open function so you can use it to customise how the window is opened

require("neotest").output.open({ open_win = function() vim.cmd("vsplit") end })

Hi @rcarriga, is it possible to add the same open_win for the attach() function? Thanks!

Works great. Thanks

Neovim allows you to navigate to a pane by number with, e.g. 3<C-w><C-w> to navigate to the third pane. Pane number corresponds to the layout of the panes in the current window.

When a floating window pops up, it seems to always be assigned to be the last pane. If you enter a larger number than there are panes, Neovim will take you to the last pane. So 9<C-w><C-w> will take you to the floating pane as long as you had fewer than 9 panes open before the floating pane popped up.

To make things a bit easier, I've added the following mapping to my init.lua to jump to the floating pane:

vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', '<C-w><C-f>', '9<C-w><C-w>', { noremap = true, silent = true })

This lets you navigate around the error message, but still closes the pane when you navigate away, which I find convenient.
