Description

Hi,

I was just wondering whether gdbgui provides a way to quick access the source files of the binary, maybe through fuzzy search. For example chrome debugger supports this with Ctrl+p.

AFAIK the source files are retrievable from gdb with the info source command.

Research direction
Investigate how source files are currently listed and accessed in gdbgui (likely in the file viewer). Look for existing search or filter functionality. Consider using a library like Fuse.js for fuzzy search. Implement a Ctrl+P trigger to show an overlay that filters source files. Connect to gdb's 'info source' command to retrieve the list.
