Since the debugger is gdb, can I simply access the gdb console?
Yes, partially. The console can be flipped into gdb mode (see the “Show Debugger Console” button in the debugger view which does this) and you can type in commands at that point. Doing this can possibly de-synchronize the IDE with gdb, so you should be careful to what extent you drive the debugger using this interface.
