222 Before changes can be made to a terminal buffer, the 'modifiable' option must | |

12254 | 279 Cursor style ~ |
12826 | 280 *terminal-cursor-style* |
12254 | 281 By default the cursor in the terminal window uses a not blinking block. The |
282 normal xterm escape sequences can be used to change the blinking state and the | |
283 shape. Once focus leaves the terminal window Vim will restore the original | |
284 cursor. | |
285 | |
286 An exception is when xterm is started with the "-bc" argument, or another way | |
287 that causes the cursor to blink. This actually means that the blinking flag | |
288 is inverted. Since Vim cannot detect this, the terminal window cursor | |
289 blinking will also be inverted. | |
290 | |
291 | |
12826 | 292 Special keys ~ |
293 *terminal-special-keys* | |
294 Since the terminal emulator simulates an xterm, only escape sequences that | |
295 both Vim and xterm recognize will be available in the terminal window. If you | |
296 want to pass on other escape sequences to the job running in the terminal you | |
297 need to set up forwarding. Example: > | |
298 tmap <expr> <Esc>]b SendToTerm("\<Esc>]b") | |

505 You should now have three windows: | |
506 source - where you started, has a window toolbar with buttons | |
507 gdb - you can type gdb commands here | |
508 program - the executed program will use this window | |
509 You can use CTRL-W CTRL-W or the mouse to move focus between windows. | |
510 Put focus on the gdb window and type: > | |
511 break ex_help | |
512 run | |
513 Vim will start running in the program window. Put focus there and type: > | |
514 :help gui | |
515 Gdb will run into the ex_help breakpoint. The source window now shows the | |
516 ex_cmds.c file. A ">>" marker will appear where the breakpoint was set. The | |
517 line where the debugger stopped is highlighted. You can now step through the | |
518 program. Let's use the mouse: click on the "Next" button in the window | |
519 toolbar. You will see the highlighting move as the debugger executes a line | |
520 of source code. | |
521 | |
522 Click "Next" a few times until the for loop is highlighted. Put the cursor on | |
523 the end of "eap->arg", then click "Eval" in the toolbar. You will see this | |
524 displayed: | |
525 "eap->arg": 0x555555e68855 "gui" ~ | |
526 This way you can inspect the value of local variables. You can also focus the | |
527 gdb window and use a "print" command, e.g.: > | |
528 print *eap | |
529 | |
530 Now go back to the source window and put the cursor on the first line after | |
531 the for loop, then type: > | |
532 :Break | |
533 You will see a ">>" marker appear, this indicates the new breakpoint. Now | |
534 click "Cont" in the toolbar and the code until the breakpoint will be | |
535 executed. | |
536 | |
537 You can type more advanced commands in the gdb window. For example, type: > | |
538 watch curbuf | |
539 Now click "Cont" in the toolbar (or type "cont" in the gdb window). Execution | |
540 will now continue until the value of "curbuf" changes, which is in do_ecmd(). | |
541 To remove this watchpoint again type in the gdb window: > | |
542 delete 3 | |
543 | |
544 You can see the stack by typing in the gdb window: > | |
545 where | |
546 Move through the stack frames, e.g. with: > | |
547 frame 3 | |
548 The source window will show the code, at the point where the call was made to | |
549 a deeper level. | |
