FAQ

Q: I navigated to the Variables/Stack/Breakpoints view. How do I get back to the source view?

A: Press your left arrow key.

Q: Where are breakpoints, PuDB settings file or shell history stored?

A: All PuDB information is stored in a location specified by the XDG Base Directory Specification. Usually, it is ~/.config/pudb. Breakpoints are stored in a file called saved-breakpoints. Also in this location are the shell history from the ! shell (shell-history) and the PuDB settings (pudb.cfg).

Q: I killed PuDB and now my terminal is broken. How do I fix it?

A: Type the reset command (even if you cannot see what you are typing, it should work). If this happens on a regular basis, please report it as a bug.
