Can the VM Serial Monitor in MS VS 2019 be made to support ANSI codes ?

    I'd like my Visual Micro Serial Monitor to be able to support ANSI escape sequences.  Is there a way to turn that on or replace the integrated monitor with one that has VT100 or ANSI support ?   

    The situation is that I am developing an app on the Arduino Leonardo/Uno. That Arduino is outputting ANSI with it's Serial.print() statements, to have positioning and color for my app.  Atm I have to disable the terminal and enable another external app like TereTerm in order to see my app screen properly.  Then I must switch back to the integrated monitor, in order to use the serial debugging.  This is tedious.

The monitor does not currently support the ANSI escape sequences, however you can run the Serial debugger over a completely separate Serial port, which would make it simpler to use the external app for your special print statements, whilst leaving the Serial Debugging unaffected in Visual Studio:
