Integrate to VIM?

[leslielg]

Any expert can start a project(or already have one?) to integrate this to VIM? So we can have multi window debugger from VIM, it will be consistent, customize-able to use.

Integration with vim is possible without changing any code in gdb-dashboard. You just need some other ubiquitous tools, such as tmux, bash, and tmuxp.

If you would like to learn more, you can read my blog post at https://gavinhoward.com/2020/12/my-development-environment-and-how-i-got-there/ .

Edit: just so it's clear, I am not the author of gdb-dashboard, and neither I, nor my blog post, are endorsed by the author.

I already have made one by tmux and used for long time:

But to improve the experience, having an official, long term mantained VIM plugin version looks better option.

Again, speaking for myself, not the author.

I could see a well-supported vim plugin being useful, but I am not sure that it would be best done in this repo. It might be best to do it in a separate repo, specifically for the plugin. Whether cyrus-and wants to do it himself or would prefer to let the gdb-dashboard community do it, I don't know.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree with @gavinhoward (thanks for your post!), this repo is no place for such plugins. As for me implementing such thing, well, nope. But if someone decides to do that, he/she is welcome and can ping me or comment here, I'll do my best to try to help.

@cyrus-and thank you. @leslielg to prevent bothering cyrus-and, you could email me at the address in my profile with ideas about what you want; since I already have a start in my vim config, I might be able to make such a plugin on a day that I get bored.

Feel free to post here updates if you think it's something that others might benefit from.

@leslielg Any chance you can share your configs for your setup?

Bit late to the party but here:
I'm using gdb-nvim in conjunction with gdb-dashboard and it works flawlessly !
It's got bonus points for supporting several other debuggers too.
The only downside is that it is a NeoVim only plugin. 🤔

@leslielg Wow, it looks very good. Can you scroll up and down in each window? I'm curious if I can scroll up/down inside the source window and register window.
