Pre-launch Console Renaming in VSCode Using launch.json Configuration

[alon710]

Currently, users have the option to rename console titles after they have run their code manually.

I would like to have the capability to modify the console name prior to launching my application, utilizing the launch.json configuration file.

For instance:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Module Name",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "module": "path.to.module",
            "consoleName": "My Console Name",
        }
    ]
}

• The console name property can also be set automatically using the module name.

The VScode team has added a new feature following my request, enabling the Python extension to make use of it, as detailed in this discussion.
