+Prompt mode ~
+ *termdebug-prompt*
+When on MS-Windows, gdb will run in a buffer with 'buftype' set to "prompt".
+This works slightly differently:
+- The gdb window will be in Insert mode while typing commands. Go to Normal
+ mode with <Esc>, then you can move around in the buffer, copy/paste, etc.
+ Go back to editing the gdb command with any command that starts Insert mode,
+ such as `a` or `i`.
+- The program being debugged will run in a separate window. On MS-Windows
