Hi Ruslan,

The patch is fine with me too, it seems to work well and it's a good idea.

It might be a bit more work to implement (an idea for another patch maybe), but do you think it would be nice if n and s did next and step when focusing a source window, but did nexti and stepi when focusing an asm window? When in an asm window, I think you will much more likely want to use nexti/stepi than next/step, so maybe they should be bound to the n and s rather than N
and S in that case?
This sounds like a great idea. If this is implemented, do you think N
and S are then useless and confusing (since n/s would be
focus-dependent while N/S won't)?

I was thinking that perhaps that when focusing...

a source view: s/n do source line stepping, S/N do assembly stepping
an asm view: s/n do assembly stepping, S/N do source line stepping

Basically, they would switch role.  Is that too confusing?


In order to get the patch in, you have two choices: if you plan to
contribute more in the future, we can get you write access to the repo, so that you can push your patches in once they are approved. Otherwise, we can
push it for you.  Let me know what you prefer.
Yes, I do plan to contribute in the future.

I'll send you the details in private.

Thanks,

Simon
