Re: Modifying keymap for TUI mode

[Ofir Cohen <ofircohenn@gmail.com>]

It's possible, but for some of the key combinations you might need to
unset the focus of the TUI window first
(e.g. arrow keys have different meaning, when source window is in
focus, up arrow navigates
one line in source code upwards, while up means history lookup when
the CLI gdb prompt is in focus).

In order to unset the focus, do: Ctrl+x, o.
For more information on key combinations in TUI mode, follow
https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/TUI-Keys.html

In order to introduce new key bindings, you have two options:
1) Add them to ~/.initrc, for readline to digest (when gdb is loaded,
regardless of TUI/non-TUI mode)
2) Modify via source (readline/readline.c IIRC), just look around in the code
    you'll find the calls to readline functions to bind keys.
    This option is less preferable, but it works too.

If after adding the new key bindings and starting gdb nothing happens,
try to toggle between TUI and non-TUI mode via: Ctrl+x, a
Also, you could launch gdb once with '--tui', and once w/o, and determine
whether it's TUI related or not.
