Couple of instructions needs to be updated.

  1. "Native Debug" vscode extension is required for "type": "gdb" in launch.json. Otherwise IDE will show squiggly lines and debugging will not start
  2. On Ubuntu 20.4, pressing "ctrl+alt+t" inside vscode (default installation) will open terminal instead of task list. Updated the instruction accordingly.

Thanks so much for making the docs better. Just a minor wording change to be explicit on what Ctrl-Shift-P opens and then I'll merge.

README.md
1. Install the VS Code GDB extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=webfreak.debug
2. Attach the ESP-Prog to your target device via whatever JTAG cable is required.
3. Plug the target device (the one you want to debug) into your computer.
4. Press **Ctrl-Shift-P** to open the Task list in VS Code. Type 'Run Task' and press enter. Now select _Flash and Monitor Device_.

Ctrl-Shift-P opens the Command Palette instead of the Task List. Let's change the wording to say that instead of "Task List" now.
