I use this workaround: 1) create a TEXT_FILE with the required gdb multi-line commands 2) in "debug console": source TEXT_FILE

Ver: Ubuntu, vscode 1.74.2, Cortex-Debug: version 1.6.9 git(4c381ef). https://github.com/Marus/cortex-debug#usage Example to set up backtrace+continue when breakpoint hit:

gdb: info break
Num     Type           Disp Enb Address    What
1       breakpoint     keep y   0x000026d8 in foo at foo.c:24
shell: printf "commands 1\nbt\nc\nend\n" >test.gdb
gdb: source test.gdb

This could break a lot of things if VScode uses the same pipe to communicate with gdb.
