Product: gdb
Version: unknown
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2

It would be nice if there were a way to split the windows vertically as opposed
to only horizontally in gdb's tui mode.

Sorry, AFAIK, nobody is working on this. If anyone wants to take a shot, the
tui code is mostly contained in gdb/tui/ .

See https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/screen.html#Regions
to see how GNU screen manages this sort of thing.
Emacs and tmux also do this and may be worth investigating
(particularly Emacs for key bindings, at least for the Emacsy
readline mode).

A decent tmux page is
