- I seem to recall that some time ago I made a suggestion for gdb mode,
- and the response was something like "that sounds like a good idea, but
- we don't have time for it now; resubmit it later".
-
- Well, now it's later. :-)
-
- My suggestion concerns the binding of C-l in gdb mode. It seems that
- whoever devised this binding was unaware of the full behavior of the
- global binding of C-l; for a user who finds the global binding of C-l
- (recenter) far more useful for scrolling (as in M-0 C-l) than for
- refresh, the gdb mode binding of C-l is extremely annoying. Here's a
- replacement which does the same thing as the present gdb mode C-l
- binding in the absence of a prefix arg, and is more nearly consistent
- with the global binding of C-l. I would not object to improvements in
- the doc string.
