Getting Started

Start a regular debugging session. When desired, you can use :DapViewOpen to start the plugin. You can switch to another section using the letter outlined in the 'winbar' (e.g., B for "Breakpoints"). Explore what you can do in each section by using g? to inspect the keymaps.

Once you're done debugging, you can close the plugin with :DapViewClose and then terminate your session as usual.

There's a lot more you can do: nvim-dap-view is highly customizable. To learn all the options, commands, tips and tricks, visit the full documentation on the website or use the built-in help doc via :help dap-view.txt.
