Going through the drop-down menu every time I want to change launcher is very annoying. Can we please have a selectbox in the main toolbar to select between launchers?
We had a patch for this feature for at least 2 times already, one of them written by me. The problem is this: There is an Execute an a Debug button. One executes, one debugs the current launch configuration. If you add a dropdown to Execute, that will change the (global) current launch config, so it will also change for the debug button, which is quite counter-intuitive. If you want the two to be different configurations, you have to refactor quite some things. So, not a JJ maybe?
Thanks for the update. Removed the junior job tag again.
I would really like something like this as well. I very often need to run two instances of the same binary (with different arguments). And it is really inconvenient to have to navigate the drop-down menu. While not ideal, it would be a bit easier if I could choose the the "Current Launch Configuration" from the main toolbar (a bit like the stop button has a drop down, but without having to long press). Could this be a middle ground until the two run and debug buttons gets separate launch configurations? PS. eclipse actually works like described by Sven, i.e. if you choose a launch target for running, it would also change the debug launch target selection, and vice versa.
Patches welcome! I'm sorry, but I don't think this is super high on our priority list; so we'd need your help!
CLion just has a target selector next to the debug and execute buttons. Having it display the name of the target in a full combobox instead of having a little arrow next to the execute button works very well in my opinion.
