Hi there,

I am looking to make vim work with gdb in an easy way I like. I
looked around and does not seem to see a solution. There is gdbmgr
but that means I still need to type in gdb command which is too
long.

What I prefer is to let vim get input from my program, which sends
editing input to vim so as to show a file, go to specific line, etc.
This way I can press Fn hot keys, send commands to gdb, and move the
cursor in vim as well. I can still edit in vim, and save the change,
recompile and restart gdb.

So what I am looking to is basically sending input to vim through a
pipe. Do you know a way to do so? vim probably does not get input
from STDIN because reading from STDIN cannot respond to individual
key strokes.

Thanks for any clue.

That's not what you asked for but in case of, cgdb is an ncurses interface to GDB modeled after Vim.

Also not what you asked for, but the client-server functionality was designed for this sort of thing.  Have you read

:help remote.txt

yet?
