I frequently need to debug a running process that was not launched from within Eclipse. Each time I run the debug launcher to attach to the process, I need to browse for the running process. It would save some time if the default search string in the Select Processes dialog could be configured in the launcher. Ideally if it matched the string it wouldn't prompt unless there were multiple matches.

Good idea - this is a simple addition and would make a good first contribution to CDT. It extends the work done in CDT 9.6 https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn96#Debug
