How to configure auto closing the outline window when an item selected?

I didn't find anything here:
h coc-outline
h coc-config-tree
h coc-config-outline

No configuration to auto closing the outline for now.

You can use outline.autoHide to enable auto closing.

You can use :call CocAction('hideOutline') to close it.

Thank you, is it possible to add this feature?

The same steps:

1. gvim 9.1.65 undo Ubuntu 23.04
2. :CocConfig
3. :CocOutline, opens outline window for file coc-settings.json
4. now, to select one, the outline window is closed
5. :tabnew y
6. gt, back to x, the outline window is open again.

I tried to run gvim without .vimrc, but with the same result.
Also I tried these steps in Vim in a terminal, but with the same result.

If I just close an outline window using ctrl+w+c I don't see this problem.

Also I tried to remove all other plugins from ~/.vim/pack/vendor/start but without success.

Reproduced with vim, not nvim

Not sure if it's related, but I am using the ToggleOutline() function as explained in the docs, and the outline window kept reopening for me when switching back from another tab.

I've switched from coc#window#close(winid) to win_execute(winid, 'close') and the problem is fixed.

The full snippet from my config:

" map CTRL_T to toggle outline view
nnoremap <silent><nowait> <C-t>  :call ToggleOutline()<CR>
function! ToggleOutline() abort
    let winid = coc#window#find('cocViewId', 'OUTLINE')
    if winid == -1
      call CocActionAsync('showOutline')
    else
      " note: using win_execute instead of coc#window#close because the latter
      " reopens the outline window when switching back to the buffer
      call win_execute(winid, 'close')
    endif
endfunction
