How to show output in integrated terminal instead of debug console?

Environment

OS and version: M1 macOS 13.0
VS Code: 1.73.0
C/C++ extension: v1.12.4

Can't show output in integrated terminal instead of debug console, even if I set "avoidWindowsConsoleRedirection": to false and add "externalConsole": false, but the output still show in debug console.

// my launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "C/C++: clang++ build and debug active file",
            "type": "cppdbg",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${fileDirname}/output/${fileBasenameNoExtension}",
            "args": [],
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "environment": [],
            "MIMode": "lldb",
            "preLaunchTask": "C/C++: clang++ build active file",

            "avoidWindowsConsoleRedirection": false,
            "externalConsole": false,
        }
    ]
}

            "externalConsole": false,
        }
    ]
}

Hey, I found a workaround:
Add "internalConsoleOptions": "openOnSessionStart" in the launch.json can automatically switch to DEBUG CONSOLE after running the file.

Thanks bro, it works, but if you want to show the output in integrated terminal, i found a better way.

1. Install a extension named CodeLLDB, a native debugger powered by LLDB.
2. Modify the "type" property in the "launch.json", change "cppdbg" to "lldb".
3. You will find some property in launch.json not allowed, remove them.

Then the output can show in integrated terminal.

// launch.json

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "C/C++: clang++ build and debug active file",
            "type": "lldb",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}",
            "args": [],
            "cwd": "${fileDirname}",
            "preLaunchTask": "C/C++: clang++ build active file",
        }
    ],
    "version": "2.0.0"
}
