Emacs keybindings working in gdb too.

Emacs keybindings working in gdb too.

[Khem Raj]

Hi

I was working on gdb and accidently pressed C-x o command which was 
meant for emacs window
but it opened up with a new split window displaying source file in the 
shell.  and then playing around
I found that C-x 2 opened the disasssembly wondow.

Is it a known feature of gdb? if yes could some one point me to some 
documentation or discussions about it.

GDB on my machine is 6.1, this does not work on older gdb I tried on 5.3 
and did not get this behavior.

Thanks

That's the TUI, the Text User Interface.

Yes.

I assume you have an Info reader installed on your machine.  If so,
type at the shell prompt "info gdb", then, when you are inside the GDB
manual, type "g TUI Keys", hit [Enter], and read there.
