Basic Usage
Use tab to move around the panels until you get to the targeted panel. Then, use hjkl, just like in vim, to scroll the panel you are currently on. Use S and s to step over/in, and all the panels should be updated dynamically while you are debugging. Either in the Registers or Stack panels, you can edit the values by inserting hex. This will be explained later. While hitting tab can help you moving between panels, it is highly recommended to use m to open the menu. As usual, you can use hjkl to move around the menu and will find tons of useful stuff there.
Split Screen
| is for the vertical and - is for the horizontal split. You can delete any panel by pressing X.
Split panels can be resized from Window Mode, which is accessed with w.
