Re: [cdt-dev] Debugger console 
Hi Vincent,

Are you asking about programatically?

If so, something like
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().showView()
with the view ID should work. Have a look at
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.internal.ui.views.debuggerconsole.DebuggerConsoleManager.
Specificially org.eclipse.cdt.debug.internal.ui.views.debuggerconsole.DebuggerConsoleManager.OpenDebuggerConsoleViewJob.runInUIThread(IProgressMonitor)
does a showView, but adds the IWorkbenchPage.VIEW_CREATE flag which
creates the view in the "background" tab. VIEW_ACTIVATE makes it
active.

You may also want to follow bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=509897. The Debugger
Console does not use Debug View Management at the moment and using
that (see https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/88157/) could help, but that
in itself does not bring it to the top.

Finally, you could add to the console itself a toggle that makes the
tab active in the same way the normal console can do. (i.e. the "Show
Console When Standard Out Changes" toggle in the Console view)

Are you asking as a user?

What I could recommend is you put the view in its own stack, see my
attached screenshot for what I mean. Having the two consoles next to
each other is my standard way of working, and this method is now much
easier without having to create a new Console View and handle all the
pinning. However if you want the standard Console and Debugger Console
stacked, I don't have an answer on the current code.
