Send data to debug console instead of REPL in python vscode

August 8, 2022

In debug mode we want to send data to the debug consol rather than the Python repl. Using the below snippet the following keys will be available:

ctrl+2 - maps to debug console
ctrl+enter - sends text to debug console when in debug mode

    {
        "key": "ctrl+alt+2",
        "command": "workbench.action.focusSecondEditorGroup"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+2",
        "command": "-workbench.action.focusSecondEditorGroup"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+2",
        "command": "workbench.debug.action.toggleRepl",
        "when": "workbench.panel.repl.view.active"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+shift+y",
        "command": "-workbench.debug.action.toggleRepl",
        "when": "workbench.panel.repl.view.active"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+enter",
        "command": "editor.debug.action.selectionToRepl",
        "when":"editorFocus && !findInputFocussed && !replaceInputFocussed && editorLangId == 'python' && inDebugMode"
    },
