While editing a value

Double-clicking a value opens a box over it. See changing values.

Key	What it does
Enter	Write the value through gdb
Escape	Leave the value alone

The function keys still work while the box is open, so F10 steps — and the box closes when the program moves, since the value under it is a value from a stop that has passed.

Inside a terminal panel

The gdb console and the Program terminal are real terminals, so gdb-wui intercepts only the function keys and Ctrl+Shift+… there.

Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D, Ctrl+Z, Tab and the arrow keys all reach the program or gdb, which is necessary for debugging programs that use them.

In the gdb console, Tab completes and ↑ recalls history; both are gdb’s own features.

Holding a key down

F10 produces at most one step per completed stop. Holding it walks the marker through the code at the speed the program can be stepped, rather than queueing steps that continue after you release the key.
