When you launch, you will see different process in the launch process tree.
One is call "Debugger process", select it, with this view select things
you type the console will go to gdb, make sure that you are at the end
of the line(the console view will not accept input)

You should have seen different logs of other inputs in that view already
like "info threads" etc ...
