+Many GDB commands can be entered using keybindings or the tool bar but

+manipulate breakpoints or control program execution.  When there is no
+fringe, you can use the margin but this is only present when the
+source file already has a breakpoint.
+
+You can click @kbd{Mouse-1} in the fringe or display margin of a
+source buffer to set a breakpoint there and, on a graphical display, a
+red bullet will appear on that line.  If a breakpoint already exists
+on that line, the same click will remove it.  You can also enable or
+disable a breakpoint by clicking @kbd{C-Mouse-1} on the bullet.

+A solid arrow in the left fringe of a source buffer indicates the line
+of the innermost frame where the debugged program has stopped. A
+hollow arrow indicates the current execution line of higher level
+frames.
+
+If you drag the arrow in the fringe with @kbd{Mouse-1}
+(@code{gdb-mouse-until}), execution will continue to the line where
+you release the button, provided it is still in the same frame.
+Alternatively, you can click @kbd{Mouse-3} at some point in the fringe
+of this buffer and execution will advance to there.  A similar command
+(@code{gdb-mouse-jump}) allows you to jump to a source line without
+executing the intermediate lines by clicking @kbd{C-Mouse-3}.  This
+command allows you to go backwards which can be useful for running
