Description Markus Elfring 2018-10-07 14:40:40 UTC
Breakpoints can be set at various source code places (by a menu entry or an usual shortcut). The desired breakpoint combination can vary during code editing.
It seems that a breakpoint listing is only provided by a view so far after a debugging session was started. Would you like to make the display and selection of breakpoint properties safer and more convenient?
Comment 1 Kevin Funk 2018-10-08 11:42:13 UTC
This is already possible.

Two ways to do it:
1) Right-click on a toolbar in the main window (left, right or bottom): [x] Breakpoints
2) Go to Window -> Tool Views -> [x] Breakpoints

Now I have noticed that I had to enable the tool view “Breakpoints” explicitly.

* Can another menu entry make sense below “Execute -> Switch breakpoint on/off”?

* How should the condition be modified there?

I don't think so. It doesn't really make sense to have an action to trigger tool views on/off there.

> How should the co=ndition be modified there?

Hm? Please explain.

I would find an additional menu entry like “Execute -> Edit breakpoint list” helpful.

Will the conditions vary between supported breakpoint types?

Still no idea what you mean. Maybe you're better off asking on the mailing list? This bug report is already convoluted and no longer is about one single task/issue.

It seems that we have got different user interface expectation for the activation of breakpoint listing.

Which conditions are supported for the four breakpoint types so far?
