For those wanting a text editor solution, there is the purpose built pdb-mode plugin for (x)emacs which works under most operating systems.
The download location has moved around a bit, but a current version is available from https://github.com/mmagnus/emacs-pdb-mode/ with more details at https://bondxray.org/software/pdb-mode/ Hope this helps, Andy Purkiss ________________________________ From: CCP4 bulletin board <CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> on behalf of Hughes, Jonathan <jon.hug...@bot3.bio.uni-giessen.de> Sent: 15 May 2024 13:11 To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK <CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> Subject: [ccp4bb] AW: [ccp4bb] a dinosaur asks ...
