Keyboard Shortcuts in the Basic IDE

In the Basic IDE you can use the following keyboard shortcuts:

Action

Keyboard shortcut

Run code starting from the first line, or from the current breakpoint, if the program stopped there before.

F5

Stop

Shift+F5

Add watch for the variable at the cursor.

F7

Single step through each statement, starting at the first line or at that statement where the program execution stopped before.

F8

Single step as with F8, but a function call is considered to be only one statement.

Shift+F8

Set or remove a breakpoint at the current line or all breakpoints in the current selection.

F9

Enable/disable the breakpoint at the current line or all breakpoints in the current selection.

Shift+F9


A running macro can be aborted with Shift++Q, also from outside of the Basic IDE. If you are inside the Basic IDE and the macro halts at a breakpoint, Shift++Q stops execution of the macro, but you can recognize this only after the next F5, F8, or Shift+F8.
