Re: [Cgdb-users] key bindings

[Mike M. <mmu...@cs...>]

Hi James,

Nice to hear from you.  I'm glad cgdb has been useful to you.

1.  Bob and I are currently working on an overhaul for cgdb.=20
Unfortunately I haven't been able to put a lot of time into it, but that
should change soon.  The new concept will be much like you described,
where window changing is exactly like it is in vim.  C-w j and C-w k will
work, as well as :split, :vsplit, etc.  I'm currently working on the
window manager library that will make this possible.  Hopefully you can
make do with the current version until a beta of this new stuff comes out=
.
:)

2.  That's a good question, I'll check into it!

Mike
