You can enter single commands in the left pane of the "Gdb View" and
"send" them to gdb by pressing Ctrl-Enter.

If you have commands that you want to be executes each time the debugger
starts you can put them into a plain text file and enter the path
under Tools -> Options -> Debugger -> Gdb Startup Script.
