From the Visual Studio Code official page:

For the C++ (GDB/LLDB) debugging environment, you can execute GDB, LLDB and LLDB-MI commands directly through the debug console with the -exec command, but be careful, executing commands directly in the debug console is untested and might crash VS Code in some cases.

E.g. for debugging child process after fork:

-exec set follow-fork-mode child

How can I execute multiple line gdb command by -exec? For example: ``` break 403 commands silent set x = y + 4 cont end ```

Is there a way to make "-exec" as default for the debug console? Every command I type there is a gdb command and having to type -exec is annoying.
