Missing disassemble and registers view

First of all, thanks for the good work. I've looked at KDevelop before but never gave it a serious try. Now that I have I love it. I like that it's so simple and yet it has all the essentials and it's fast unlike Eclipse.

However, I do have a minor issue: No disassemble or registers views - I was running v4.5.2 which is the latest stable version on Gentoo and I couldn't find a disassemble tab. After reading this: https://www.kdevelop.org/46/kdevelop-460-final-released which mentions the disassemble toolview in 4.6.0 I decided to upgrade to 4.7.0 but I still don't have a disassemble tab. The only way I can step trough assembly right now is to use gdb manually from the shell. I also don't have the registers tab mentioned on that post, but that's not such a big deal because I can use "info registers" on the gdb tab to dump them, but it would be nice to have.

You probably need to add that tool view first.

Go to Window -> Add Tool View -> Disassemble/Registers

Does that fix your issue?

Yes it does, thanks. I had looked on Window -> Tool Views but I didn't even noticed the Add Tool View option.

However it looks like it doesn't allow stepping through the assembly code. I got large chunks of inline assembly that I'd like to be able to step through but it just steps to the next line of C code. It would be nice if you could set the focus on the disassembly window and step through one instruction at a time. Is there any way to do that from within the IDE?

Ha! I figured it out. There's a Step Into Instruction and Step Over Instruction on the Run menu. I just have to set shortcuts for it and I'm set. Thanks
