The MIEngine allows sending commands directly to the underlying debugger (gdb/lldb).

To do so:

View -> Other Windows -> Command Window
Run: Debug.MIDebugExec insert-your-gdb-command-here

Notes:

This is only supported when the target process is stopped
Don't run commands that cause the target process to run again. Visual Studio will still be stopped and everything will get very confused.
