Description

Hi,

I was just wondering whether gdbgui provides a way to quick access the source files of the binary, maybe through fuzzy search.
For example chrome debugger supports this with Ctrl+p.

AFAIK the source files are retrievable from gdb with the `info source` command.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the frontend source-navigation code and the GDB integration that can expose files through `info source`; determine how a Ctrl+p-style fuzzy-search overlay would fit there. Done means users can search and open available source files, with coverage for the relevant behavior.
