Hide Terminal

Some debug adapters don't use the integrated terminal (aka "console"). To avoid having a completely useless window lying around, you can hide the terminal by adding the following snippet to your nvim-dap-view setup:

return {
    windows = {
        terminal = {
            -- Use the actual names for the adapters you want to hide
            hide = { "delve" }, -- `delve` is known to not use the terminal.
        },
    },
}

Anchoring

In some scenarios, it's useful to use another window as if it was nvim-dap-view's terminal. By doing that, nvim-dap-view's main window will "follow" another window. Watch this video to see what this looks like.

One such scenario is when using the delve adapter for Go (more specifically, when using an attach request): the window with the terminal that launched dlv can act as if it was nvim-dap-view's terminal window. In the context of delve, that's useful, because the dlv process will behave as if it was the terminal (receiving input, displaying output, etc).

To achieve that, in addition to hiding the terminal for delve (see above), you have to create your own anchor function that returns a window number (or nil), which is used to mark the anchor window. If nil is returned, there's a fallback to the default behavior. Here's a simple function you can use:

return {
    windows = {
        anchor = function()
            -- Anchor to the first terminal window found in the current tab
            -- Tweak according to your needs
            local windows = vim.api.nvim_tabpage_list_wins(0)

            for _, win in ipairs(windows) do
                local bufnr = vim.api.nvim_win_get_buf(win)
                if vim.bo[bufnr].buftype == "terminal" then
                    return win
                end
            end
        end,
    },
}
