|
||||
IDE-class debugging: inline variable values, hover inspection, persistent
|
||||
breakpoints, watch expressions, and modal keybindings that just work.
|
||||
|
||||
Inspired by Turbo Pascal — the first IDE where you could just hit a key
|
||||
and start debugging.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Install
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
vim.pack.add("swaits/turbo-debug.nvim")
|
||||
vim.pack.add("swaits/turbo-debug")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That's it. No other config needed. See `:help turbo-debug` for customization.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
Everything lives under `<leader>d` (with which-key support if installed):
|
||||
turbo-debug is **modal**. Press `<leader>dd` and you enter debug mode — the
|
||||
UI opens, keybindings activate, and you're debugging. Press `q` or
|
||||
`<leader>dd` again and everything disappears. Your editor is exactly as it
|
||||
was before.
|
||||
|
||||
| Key | Action | Available |
|
||||
|-----|--------|-----------|
|
||||
| `<leader>dd` | Toggle debug mode | Always |
|
||||
| `<leader>dx` | Toggle breakpoint | Always |
|
||||
| `<leader>dX` | Conditional breakpoint | Always |
|
||||
| `<leader>dD` | Clear all breakpoints | Always |
|
||||
This modal approach is inspired by
|
||||
[debugmaster.nvim](https://github.com/MironPascalCaseFan/debugmaster.nvim).
|
||||
During a debug session you need to **navigate** code and **inspect** state.
|
||||
You do not need to **edit**. So debug mode shadows editing keys (`c`, `d`,
|
||||
`s`, `r`, `x`) with debug actions and leaves all navigation keys untouched
|
||||
(`h`, `j`, `k`, `l`, `w`, `b`, `e`, `f`, `/`, `n`, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
When debug mode ends, every keybinding is restored to exactly what it was.
|
||||
|
||||
## Keybindings

||||

## Supported Languages
|
||||
|
||||
Adapter binaries must be installed (via mason, package manager, etc).
|
||||
turbo-debug ships adapter configs for 12 languages. You install the adapter
|
||||
binary (via [mason.nvim](https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim), your
|
||||
package manager, or manually) — turbo-debug handles all the configuration.

## What This Plugin Actually Does
|
||||
|
||||
turbo-debug is **glue**. It does not implement a debugger, a UI framework,
|
||||
virtual text rendering, or breakpoint persistence. It configures and wires
|
||||
together these excellent plugins into a single cohesive experience:
|
||||
|
||||
| Plugin | What it provides |

|
||||
| [nvim-dap-ui](https://github.com/rcarriga/nvim-dap-ui) | Scopes, stacks, watches, REPL, console UI |

All five are loaded automatically via `vim.pack.add`. You never declare them.
