3.2 Commands available during GDB mode

When in GDB mode, the user is in command mode or scroll mode. When in command mode, the user is typing in commands to interact with GDB. When in scroll mode, the user can scroll through the GDB output. You can enter scroll mode by typing page up and quit scroll mode by typing q, i or enter.

The commands available in GDB Mode when in command mode are:

Switch back to source window. This is defaulted to the ESC key.
