If don't like the Ctrl-X,A shortcut to get into TUI mode there is a command line option (--tui) to get GDB to start up in TUI mode. I find that a lot easier to remember. I think cgdb (https://cgdb.github.io/ https://cgdb.github.io/) is even better than TUI mode though. Some nice things that it has that TUI mode doesn't: - Colorization of the source code window - The terminal display doesn't get confused when the debugged program prints to stdout - You can still use the up and down arrow keys for moving through your command history and don't have to resort to Ctrl-P and Ctrl-N. Scrolling the source code window also uses the up and down arrow keys but you have to switch the "focus" to the source code window first.

Scrolling the source code window also uses the up and down arrow keys but you have to switch the "focus" to the source code window first. Minor correction, that's the same as gdb tui. Use ^X,O to select which window has focus and you can use up and down arrow to go through your command history. The rest is definitely better in cgdb.
