> Unique Debugging That caught my eye. How do you people debug C (on Linux) ? I'm tired of switching constantly between Sublime and GDB. I know there's a GDB plugin for Sublime but it's a pain to configure. I need to edit my code AND set breaks in the same GUI window. There is DDD but it's old and odd looking. Tried Kate also but for some reason didn't like it.

  Thank you. I tried SublimeGDB. Yours seems nice but also heavy in config and integration into Sublime. What I'm after is the other way around : an editor around GDB. > you need to install Terminus It's not mentionned in the page. How would one know they need it ?

    The only thing I needed to configure are the paths to the executables to debug and their command line arguments. This is for LLDB, but GDB works the samé, set the type to `gdb`. https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/debugger-for-c/73001/5 https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/debugger-for-c/73001/5 This adaptér is used for GDB https://github.com/WebFreak001/code-debug#debug https://github.com/WebFreak001/code-debug#debug Somewhere there is a mention of Terminus integration, practically it doesn't work without.

There is termdebug for Vim (should be included in Vim package itself) which lets you have a fancy TUI/editor together with the full power of GDB console.

  Thanks, that's more like it. Though I don't fancy having to type `:Break` each time I need a break point. That should be a single click in the gutter.

    The normal workflow for this kind of thing in vim is that you set up some keyboard shortcut that suits you in your personal configuration. Most people aren't manually using command mode for things like this.

Have you tried setting up a build command in Sublime Text to run gdb? I find it a bit easier for cli stuff that depending on a plugin. The json config is rather simple.
