Re: Termdebug for Windows: why a "prompt" buffer instead of a terminal buffer?

Ok! Makes sense! Thanks!

But that lead me to the following question: why use gdb mi instead of term_sendkeys, jobs and channel?

That way we would be OS independent and we would also not depend on external tools features (in this case gdb mi) for which we have zero control.

… genuinely asking. :-)

Best,
