Hi,

in emacs -Q, open an elisp file and enable `view-mode'.

Now, instrument any defun in this buffer and eval something that
causes that function to be called.

You enter an edebug session, but nearly all edebug bindings won't work
because they trigger `view-mode' bindings in this buffer instead.

Every edebug binding is also available under the C-x X prefix.

Yes, that's `global-edebug-prefix'.  In the header, there is a typo,
here:

;; If you wish to change the default edebug global command prefix, change:
;; (setq edebug-global-prefix "\C-xX")
         -------------      

There is no binding for `edebug-next-mode' (i.e. n in `edebug-mode-map')
in `global-edebug-map' (why?).

I would have to type C-x X SPC C-x X SPC ... to step through the code -
a pain in the ass.

I don't have an elegant solution for this problem.  It is not a problem
especially with `view-mode'.  All minor mode bindings shadow
`edebug-mode-map' which is used as local map.

If there was an `edebug-mode-hook', then the user could deactivate
interfering minor modes there.

Maybe it should be installed with higher precedence, by virtue of
being transient.

That could be an alternative, but then you'd probably want to re-enable
it when leaving edebug mode, which would enable&disable it very often
and could be difficult to implement efficiently.

That sounds like a good idea.  How is the precedence of minor mode maps
determined?

Hm...  I see that minor-mode-overriding-map-alist exists -- should
edebug put its keymap there instead of minor-mode-map-alist?

That might work,

That seemed to work -- I bound it in edebug--recursive-edit, so it
shouldn't mess anything up after exiting edebug.
