Colored debug 🎨

Colored debug is a lightweight VS Code extension that repairs broken ANSI color sequences in the Debug Console.

If your debugger outputs raw escape codes like e[90m or \e[32m instead of colored text, this extension will intercept and fix them on the fly.

🚀 Features

• Automatic Repair: Converts literal e[ or \e[ sequences into real ANSI Escape characters.
• Zero Configuration: Works out of the box for all debuggers (Node.js, Python, C++, Go, etc.).
• Performance: Minimal footprint; only processes active debug output strings.
• Universal: Compatible with official VS Code, VSCodium, and custom forks.
