Description

Is it already possible to have debug output (using System.Diagnostics.Debug) appear in the "Debug Console" window automatically? Perhaps using a setting such as mono-debug.loggingLevel or so. I suppose one could set this up in the application, but it would be nice to have debug (and possilbly trace) lines appear in a different color.

Research direction

Start by investigating how System.Diagnostics.Debug and possibly trace output are handled by the Mono debug adapter and how messages reach the VS Code Debug Console. Done would mean a documented or implemented way for those lines to appear automatically, with the requested setting and color behavior clarified.
