Getting the keys to work #9

Hi

I'm having trouble with using the debugger in vim. Should I map the keys somehow?

Startup process is currently manual multi step, you need to follow as per readme:

  1. start node with debugger enabled ( node --debug yourscript or node --debug-brk foo.js or coffee --nodejs --debug-brk bar.coffee` )
  2. start vim agent ( I just tried git master - ./bin/vim-inspector.js ) - it starts listening vim-netbeans connections and connects to debugger
  3. connect vim to agent by starting as vim -nbs or from existing session type :nb in command mode. On connection, vim-inspector sets key handlers via vim-netbeans protocol

I'm currently have version which does all this in one go (spawn script & agent & vim in right order ) but it's not quite ready yet

I manage to get vim running, showing an arrow next to the line (at startup due to --debug-brk), but none of the shortcut keys work. I've removed my custom .vimrc/ and .vim/ and tried again, but no luck.

Are there no settings or plugins I'm missing?

The arrow is not moving, and breakpoints show nothing and don't trap the code. (Ctrl+c seems to work but there is no feedback of it other than my node program running)

Okay, I pulled master and it seems to work now.
