Oh, good to know. Thanks for the info. I’m still using jaunty, currently. Guess I’ll update sometime soon.

Karmic has emacs 23.1.4. Many distros also have a package called “emacs-cvs” available which has more up to date versions. This was really useful before emacs 23 was officially released.

I’m using GNU Emacs 23.1.3
Check your version. If you’re on Ubuntu you might have to get the latest sources and compile it yourself, as I think that’s what I did (afaik the official version in Ubuntu/Debian is still 22.x but I find 23.x much nicer).
You can get 23.1.3 here:
http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/
(emacs-23.1.tar.bz2)

Great that you liked the screencast. If I have something else that I find interesting, I’ll make another one. If you have any ideas though, as to what you’d like to see, feel free to give me some input and I’ll think about it.

Great post, since I discovered the emacs interface to gdb, my life has been so much easier. I have a question though… how did you get those tabbed windows in the gdb-many-windows layout? For instance, the Locals/Registers buffer and Breakpoints/Threads buffers can be selected with tabs. Maybe you’re using a new version of emacs than me, but I couldn’t find anyway to set that up.
