Description Ori Avtalion 2014-12-27 11:08:19 UTC

If I have a keybinding set to the "Continue" debug action. It doesn't do anything while the program is not debugging - to start debugging a program, you have to explicitly perform the "Debug" action.

It would be useful if "Continue" automatically started running the program in debug mode, and if it's already running, perform the regular "Continue" action.

This is how Visual Studio does it, with the command called "Debug, Continue" [1]

Reproducible: Always

Dear Ori,

thank you for your report. I agree that this would be useful to have; I've been pondering the usability of Debug & Continue as well. I have much higher priority things to work on right now, so anybody who reads this should feel free to try their hands at creating a patch :)

Pressing "Continue" starts "Debug" if program is not running

Changes the kdevdebuggershellui to make the "continue" action visible when the debugger is not running, otherwise the "continue" action would be disabled.
Triggering the "continue" action when while no debug is running will have the same effect as triggering "debug" action. The "continue" action for running debugs remains the same as before.
