The debugger commands are mapped to vim +user-defined commands with a common letter prefix, and with completion +available on the commands and their first argument. + +When running gvim, the controlling terminal of the program to debug is +the terminal used to launch pyclewn. Any other terminal can be used +when the debugger allows it, for example after using the attach or tty +gdb commands or using the --tty option with pdb. + +Required Vim 7.0 or above with the netbeans_intg feature enabled, +and with the autocmd feature enabled. + +You can use the :help pyclewn command within vim, to get access +to the documentation. |
