-I am using the CtrlP plugin, so I also use it for displaying the Quickfix List.
-But if the plugin is not found; it will default to native quicklist with
-`:copen`.

 Lets check these keybindings.
 
 - `Leader+x` - runs the binary in the terminal above and providing environment variables and argument
 - `Leader+c` - runs make and puts error in Quickfix List then opens with `:copen`
-- `Leader+v` - launches DebugTerm/DBG debugger with all variables and breaks on main
-- `Leader+b` - launches DebugTerm/DBG debugger with all variables and breaks on current line
+- `Leader+m` - launches DebugTerm/DBG debugger with all variables and breaks on main
+- `Leader+l` - launches DebugTerm/DBG debugger with all variables and breaks on current line
 
 This setup can get even more elaborate. Depending on your needs. This example
 works really well for projects using C, but anything goes here.
