Hi Eugene, Thanks for the report. Do you have any suggestions on what we could do to fix this problem? One suggestion I was given was to have the F1-F9 keys handel the next/step/run functionality. Those are standardized on a lot of front ends. What do you think? Bob Rossi |

OK, a little on how we got into this position. I added the shortcut keys I believe before we had the regex searching. 'n' seemed like the obvious key for 'next'. Then, I added the regex searching. A stated goal for CGDB is to have a similar feel, like vi/vim. So, the correct key for searching is 'n'. Now we had a collission. Along the way I had stopped using the shortcut keys. I was going to remove them from cgdb, but realized a lot of people had been using them. So, I definately want to leave the next search as 'n'. However, I don't mind changing the shortcut keys, or adding another key binding in shortcut mode that does the same thing. With all of that said, the very next feature we plan to add to CGDB will be key mappings that allow you to bind a key to a particular piece of functionality. When that is done, you'll be able to map the functionality to whatever key you would like. I'll add the F keys as a temporary solution, unless you can think of something immediately better.

In the version you have, these commands should work,
F5 is now the same as 'r'.
F6 is now the same as 'c'.
F7 is now the same as 'f'.
F8 is now the same as 'n'.
F10 is now the same as 's'.
Can you verify that that is true? I've added this to the documentation.
Also, I'm trying to figure out if I can use the imap command to have 'w'
do what you want.

OK, here is the other solution that you can use with svn trunk. You can put this, map w :set<Space>noshortcut<CR>n:set<Space>shortcut in your ~/.cgdb/cgdbrc That will allow 'w' to act like 'n' when you are not in shortcut mode. Essentially allowing 'w' to do the next search. The only real downside is, it doesn't seem to highlight when you search. Let me know what you think about this. Bob Rossi |

Why 'not in shortcut mode'? If I isn't in shortcut mode, the 'n' key works fine. Adding of new shortcut to 'forward search' is needed _in_ shortcut mode. Was it a mistype? > Essentially allowing 'w' to do the next search. The only real downside > is, it doesn't seem to highlight when you search. Let me know what you > think about this. I'll wait to new upstream release in Debian to get this functionality. If, as I understood, 'w' is an additional shortcut to 'forward search', it will be great for me. Now building cgdb from trunk wants too much autotools' utilities and provides no .deb package, I have package-based system. -- Eugene V. Lyubimkin aka JackYF, Ukrainian C++ developer. |
