Better Breakpoints

Setting a Breakpoint

This extension adds a new margin to the Visual Studio editor, to the right of the Indicator Margin.

Left clicking on an empty space in this margin will create a Breakpoint at the corresponding line of code.

Modifying a Breakpoint

Right clicking on a Breakpoint will show the options panel. Right clicking again or scrolling in the editor will dismiss the options panel.

A Breakpoint can be set to either be a trigger or be triggered by another Breakpoint.

• Trigger: this Breakpoint, when hit, will enable all 'Triggered By' Breakpoints of the same color. If Break is unchecked, it will not break when hit but still enable all 'Triggered By' Breakpoints.
• Triggered By: This Breakpoint will be disabled when the debugger is started, and will be enabled when any trigger of the corresponding color is hit.

The Breakpoint icon indicates the mode it is currently set to.

Conditional Breakpoints and Actions

Conditions and actions can be added to the Breakpoint as normal, by left clicking on the Visual Studio breakpoint in the indicator margin and selecting 'Conditions...' or 'Actions...' to open the Breakpoint Settings panel.

Removing a Breakpoint

Remove a Breakpoint by left clicking on the Breakpoint in either margin.
