Bug ID: 22401
Summary: better pager prompt
Product: gdb
Version: 8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: gdb
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: jidanni at jidanni dot org
Target Milestone: ---

The prompt
---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---
is nice, however the user might also want at some point, after reading
several pages, to instead just print out all the remaining pages without
having to hit RET after each one.
Therefore please make it
---Type <return> to continue, a or q <return> to print all or quit---

Also the user should be shown what page he is on:
--- 1/26 Type <return> to continue, a or q <return> to print all or quit---

Sure, on (info "(gdb) Screen Size") one can do set pagination off, but I
am just talking about a user who is already on the fifth page, and wants
to dump all the rest to STDOUT right now.

Also I am not asking you for how to do it. I am asking to change the
prompt, and add a "a" command. Or a "?" to show all options.
