22.4 TUI-specific Commands

The TUI has specific commands to control the text windows. These commands are always available, that is they do not depend on the current terminal mode in which gdb runs. When gdb is in the standard mode, using these commands will automatically switch in the TUI mode.

layout next
Display the next layout.
layout prev
Display the previous layout.
layout src
Display the source window only.
layout asm
Display the assembly window only.
layout split
Display the source and assembly window.
layout regs
Display the register window together with the source or assembly window.
focus next | prev | src | asm | regs | split
