Android Studio: How to keep logcat pinned when running the app?

I hadn’t used Android Studio in a long time. I recently started using it and am facing a UX issue.

As you can see below, I want to always have the Logcat stay at the bottom like so:

However, every time I run the app, Android Studio replaces it with the Run window:

While trying to figure out how to keep the Logcat always stay, I used the "Split right" and now I have this 2 pane Logcat which isn’t what I want:

I have 2 questions:

  1. How can I keep logcat always pinned even when I run app? I don’t want to constantly click "Logcat" to open it.

  2. How can I get rid of this split pane window?
