Description
Type: Debugger
Describe the bug
- OS and Version: Debian 9
- VS Code Version: 1.42.1
- C/C++ Extension Version: 26.3
- Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them): Issue persists with all extensions disabled
- A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
In VSCode 1.4.2, support was added for debug console input history suggestions: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_42#_debug-console-improvements
However, this does not seem to work with cpptools. This would be a very helpful feature because I often type the same commands over and over.
To Reproduce
Open any debug session. Try entering multiple commands and note that no history suggestions are shown.
