Make possible saving layouts #50

Closed gustavo-hms closed 3 years ago

gustavo-hms commented 3 years ago

Hi!

First of all, thanks for the project.

I'd like to ask you to make possible to save panels layouts. Currently, every time I open gdlv, it displays the Listing, Command, Stacktrace and Variables panels, and I always find myself adding Breakpoints and Sources. It's tedious and time consuming to do this setup again and again. So, if there was an option to save the current layout (or even save it automatically like gdlv does with breakpoints) for them to be restored the next time I run gdlv, it would come in handy.

You can already save a layout using the layout command:

layout save mylayout layout description goes here

will save the current layout as mylayout

layout mylayout

will restore it. Use default as the layout name to change the default layout.

I didn't realise I can do that. Thanks for the explanation.

Anyway, I see now that reading the output of the help command it's possible to discover this functionality, even though I didn't. Perhaps it was a lack of attention on my side, perhaps a usability problem, but in any case it's not evident that, to get our layout loaded at startup, we can overwrite the default layout. So, if help could be more explicit at how we can make a custom layout the default, I think it could already help.

This doesn't work for me across gdlv sessions. I can create a layout, save it, & see it in the list. But when I close that session & open another one, the layout is gone.

Running MacOS Sonoma 14.5, builtin terminal, latest gdlv (430234e).
