When working with projects on multiple servers, it's commonly the case that each server has different configuration requirements for the debugger. For instance, one server may need to work over port 7777, while another might use 7869. Client-side, you might have to work with the first server by going through an SSH tunnel, while PhpED can talk to the second server directly. Each of these scenarios requires different debugger settings in PhpED. Thus, my suggestion: make the debugger settings in Tools->Settings->Debugger project-specific. This would be a huge boon to those of use who don't just work with one server all the time.

Of course, this also means the settings would need to be moved to the project settings dialog. However, I'd probably keep the global settings for use as defaults.

Thanks for listening.

the first step in this direction is done in version 4.6. It's where we added debugger-specific sheet with settings. In one of the next versions we'll make this sheet available in the project properties too.
