simple remote pdb like interface

[horos22reg]

All,

I want to use mobdebug like I would RemotePdb. You can simply insert a remote pdb call in your code, open up telnet in another window, and start typing commands there.

Is this possible with mobdebug? I'm looking here, and when I try this I get:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
STEP

and it pauses without prompt. I enter in step manually, and then it opens up a > in the other window. I type 'help' and get 'unknown error'.

My lua installation is sane - i've run nvim with it - so at first blush, it looks like this is not supported at all. Which is a shame, because it basically makes lua development for me a non-starter.

So how do I make MobDebug work in this way?
