In a source you can place the cursor on some line and choose 'Run to Cursor' (F4). Now, if there are other breakpoint defined before hitting the line I pressed F4 on, the debugger stops at that breakpoint.

So 'Run to Cursor' should be named as 'Run to Cursor until some other breakpoint was hit'.

It would be nice F4 would do what it says. Just run to Cursor, don't stop elsewere.

no, it won't be changed because this feature works exactly like in any other solid IDE.

I thought phpEd wanted to be different compared to the 'the others' and set new standards

Sometimes I just want to skip defined breakpoints defined in other scripts. The way the debugger works now is in that case you'll lost the exact place you pressed F4 when it stops on such a breakpoint.

It would be nice as it would help to debug more quicker especially in more complex environments.

If F4 pressed, temporary disable all defined breakpoints unitil it hits the F4 spot...

it would violate other people expectations.



what if code where you placed the cursor is not executed at all?

>it would violate other people expectations.
As it does right now for me .... but really if developers only wrote software to stay withing peoples expectations, software would never develop further.
But I respect your point of view.

>what if code where you placed the cursor is not executed at all?
If F4 pressed, temporary disable all defined breakpoints unitil it hits the F4 spot or the script finished execution ...

Right. But we're talking about a VERY OLD feature that works this way for more than 17 years now.


And people will say, "hey I have ton of breakpoints in my code and neither triggered, WTF!"

I know, but look what has been changed over the last 17 years



And others will say "Nice feature, others don't have that!" Which option does switch that feature on (or off )
"Oh I see, it's just next to the option which says 'Only debug in scripts already open in the editor'"
