Description Kishore 2007-01-30 18:48:35 UTC
Version:           3.4.0 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (edgy) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu1~edgy1)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.17-10-generic

Request for a button that does "show line being executed". This currently does not exist (AFAIK) and at times when browsing through the source after a 'pause' i am unable to find my way back and i need to do a 'step' to know where i was. :-)

Amarok has a button for "Go To Current Track" a similar option in the kdevelop debugger will be useful.

there's a green arrow to indicate the current line (unless I'm imagining things)

Sorry if i was not clear enough. Indeed there is the arrow in the editor view, 
but i request for is a toolbar button that shifts editor view and focus to the 
current executing line where the arrow also is.

Take the case where while debugging (stepping) something strikes and you 
navigate through several other source files. Sometimes after all this i forget 
at which source file and line the execution cursor was at and end up searching 
for it. I would have preferred an arrow like icon probably in the toolbar 
which when clicked would directly shift the editor view to take me that line.

Of course, only later i discovered the framestack widget which i now use to 
the same effect.

aah, ok this is useful.

You already have that: click on the "Frame stack" tool in the debug view
and select a particular frame. The editor will automatically jump there.
