How to turn off GDB TUI?












16














I have this GDB TUI/layout on. How to return to default GDB view? I can't just restart GDB because I have important backtrace on my hand and as long as I have these extra windows I can't scroll well on the basic view.

          you can enter / leave the TUI mode with one of this combination:




          • C-x C-a

          • C-x a

          • C-x A

            But see sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15163, which is a fun gotcha for the vi-inclined.

          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.
