Is it possible to debug a program that requires input from the terminal in VSCode/VSCodium? (reddthat.com)

Though I primarily use vim, I got VSCodium so I could use it as a debugger since its much easier to set up. I am having alot of trouble getting any use out of it though, when I run the program the IDE gives me errors if I type in the debug console, and closes the terminal if I type in the integrated terminal. I've changed the config to allow integrated terminal, but nothing has changed.

Can anyone help me figure this out, or recommend an alternative tool for debugging a C# program?

Edit: I finally found my answer: https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/debugging-c-console-apps-on-linux-with-vs-codium-readline-input-not-working/16493

Unfortunately there is no FOSS way to debug a C# application in VSCodium. Might have to see what this lldb tool is.

Yes that's how I set it to integratedTerminal

Edit: That probably is the solution on VSCode, but I found out the only debuggers available on VSCodium do not have anyway to connect to the terminal

That could be. I think c# in vscode proper has some proprietary secret sauce :(
