Binding F10 key to 'next'

Binding F10 key to 'next'

[Chris Stankevitz]

Hello,

Is it possible to bind the F10 key to the "next" operation?  The 
following did not work:

(gdb) define F10
Type commands for definition of "f10".
End with a line saying just "end".
 >n
 >end

Thank you,

Chris

If it is possible (which is likely), it would have to be
supported by your terminal or window manager, not by gdb.

Gdb doesn't know anything about function keys.

Michael,

Are you suggesting I investigate whether my terminal (xterm) or WM 
(gnome) could perform a binding such that whenever I type the F10 key, 
the string "next\n" is sent to the active program?

Indeed. 

If the environment you live in uses readline you can try putting
the following line (including all quotes) in your ~/.inputrc :

  "\e[21~": "next\n"

If you're lazy like I am, you can also define some user commands:
You can even put them in a .gdbinit script like:

define d
  set confirm off
  del b
  set confirm on
end
document d
  delete all breakpoints
end
