How do I turn off GDB TUI?
Solution 1:
You can enter / leave the TUI mode with one of this combinations:
- C-x C-a
- C-x a
- C-x A
This is typically (no need to lift the Ctrl key):
- Ctrl + X + A
Solution 2:
Beacause of the bug Ulerich mentioned which breaks the mappings if you have vi
mode in your .inputrc
, I have requested a workaround at https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-06/msg00009.html and Andrew Burgess replied that he had just submitted a well received patch to add:
tui enable
tui disable
so in future versions we should have commands as an alternative to the shortcuts.
I have later tested this on GDB 8.1 in Ubuntu 18.04 and it worked perfectly.
But then I saw the light and moved from TUI to GDB Dashboard which is simply more powerful and less buggy.
