 _The Problem_

 _The Universal Solution_
 
-For a consistent Jest output experience, the simplest solution is to set `"testing.openTesting": "neverOpen"`. This allows the extension to manage the "TEST RESULTS" and "TERMINAL" panels together using `"jest.outputConfig"` alone.

 _Further Customization_
 
 However, if you prefer "TEST RESULTS" and "TERMINAL" panels to behave differently and don't mind managing 2 settings yourself, you could play with different combinations. 
 
-For instance, if `"testing.openTesting"` is set to `"openOnTestFailure"`, and you want your terminal panel to still reveal when any tests run, your setting would look like this: `"jest.outputConfig": {revealWithFocus: "terminal"}`.
