Then this is a bug in gdb-mode, not the fault of a missing keybinding. Could people stop arguing why a keybinding is needed for goto-line? I think everyone already agrees that people see a need for it; for whatever reason they may have. M-g is a bad choice for goto-line, since it isn't used that often (and please don't come up with reaons for facemenu-keymap). C-x g is also bad, it has a already existing keybinding since a long time. C-u C-u C-l, C-x C-g, C-s NN, all seem like good candidates. Can some Emacs developer just pick one, and define it to goto-line and kill this stupid thread? But how often do you or did you receive complaints about losing insert-register-compatibility-binding. I will raise a stink about it.
