Is it common practice to edit .gdbinit *during* a debugging session? If I
needed to do this I can always use `C-x C-f' which doesn't seem much harder
than `C-c C-v' and its one less keybinding to remember.

gdb <-> .gdbinit

[Masatake YAMATO]

You may want to open/select .gdbinit from gdb(buffer created by M-x gdb) quickly.
After editing .gdbinit you may also want to select gdb buffer quickly.
With following patch, you can move between .gdbinit buffer and gdb quickly with 
C-cC-v.

Re: gdb <-> .gdbinit

[Richard Stallman]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think these are too specialized to be
worth adding to Emacs.
