Visual Panels

Concept

Visual Panels is characterized by the following core functionalities:

1. Split Screen
2. Display multiple screens such as Symbols, Registers, Stack, as well as customed panels
3. Menu will cover all those commonly used commands for you so that you don't have to memorize any of them

CUI met some useful GUI as the menu, that is Visual Panels.

Basic Usage

Use tab to move around the panels until you get to the targeted panel. Then, use hjkl, just like in vim, to scroll the panel you are currently on. Use S and s to step over/in, and all the panels should be updated dynamically while you are debugging. Either in the Registers or Stack panels, you can edit the values by inserting hex. This will be explained later. While hitting tab can help you moving between panels, it is highly recommended to use m to open the menu. As usual, you can use hjkl to move around the menu and will find tons of useful stuff there.

Split Screen

| is for the vertical and - is for the horizontal split. You can delete any panel by pressing X.

Edit Values

Either in the Register or Stack panel, you can edit the values. Use c to activate cursor mode and you can move the cursor by pressing hjkl, as usual. Then, hit i, just like the insert mode of vim, to insert a value.
