> New shortcuts for TUI Single-Key mode: 'i' for stepi, and 'o' for nexti; TUI really is one of the best features to really get into gdb. visually stepping through the disassembly really makes debugging more appealing, I really wish they dont abandon this aspect of gdb

My favorite visual gdb interface is the one build into emacs esspecially with gbd-many-mode

GDB developers use it extensively, so it's not going to disappear anytime soon. Of course it's far from perfect and there are better visual interfaces for GDB, but the fact that it's a keystroke away is its strong point.

Seems like a I cannot edit my post, but I just remembered this brilliant short talk (15min) about gdb's TUI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PorfLSr3DDI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PorfLSr3DDI It really did change my opinion of gdb in just 15 min.

Why not use a real GUI frontend like Visual Studio Code instead?

  Can you use VSCode as just a debugger? IDE's typically require sacrifices like letting the IDE take over your build process.

    Yes :) Install the Native Debug extension and then configure the debugger in the launch.json file.

    Yep! This is all of the configuration needed to use VSCode as a debugger for Ocaml: https://i.imgur.com/kY6NuXC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kY6NuXC.jpg
