Re: [Cgdb-users] Side by side windows

[Mike M. <mi...@su...>]

Hi James,

Thanks for the feedback!  The feature you requested is definitely
something we've wanted to do.  The problem is the current design of the
curses front end is not really flexible, so I started to redesign it a
while ago to allow more flexibility, but it didn't go very far (I'm a
slacker).  That's not to say it won't happen, but it will probably be a
while.

Bob is currently putting a lot of effort into supporting the new GDB MI
interface.  When he finishes that, the UI will probably start improving a=
s
he gets time to work on it.

Hopefully you can cope with it the way it is for now. :)  Ultimately the
goal is to have Vim-style split capability, that is, an arbitrary number
of horizontal and vertical splits, so you can rearrange the UI to suit
your environment.  The idea of separating the program output from the GDB
output is a good one, too, and I think we want to do this
(user-configurable).

Thanks again,
Mike
