Did you know… There’s no command for Continuing the debugger - #312

I just noticed how the tooltip for the Start icon changes from Debug.Start (F5)

Start Debugging

to Continue (F5)

Well, this got me thinking, “Of course it makes sense to have the same keyboard shortcut for both commands.” Then I wondered what the command was for Continue, and it turns out there’s no “Debug.Continue” command. Checking the keybindings for F5 shows only Debug.Start. The tooltip just gets renamed while in debug mode.

    Hi Wayne, thanks for the feedback. I'm striving to cover all possible keyboard shortcuts and UI elements in these feature areas. These tips, although known to most user, seemed to fit this goal. However, truth be told, between my day job and writing the book, i haven't had as much time as i would have liked to deep dive into these feature areas. My weekends have been devoted to the book instead of tip of the day. Fortunately, I've had some time this week to meet with debugger people for tips, as i'm beyond my subject matter expertise in the IDE. And with the book winding down, I'll have time on Sunday to write more tips. (i'm working on the book all day today (saturday)). I should have some good ones coming up very soon. Again, I'm glad you left the comment, because i was wondering what people were thinking about the series. And as i said with tip #300, i'll end the series before it jumps the shark. please stay tuned and let keep the feedback coming. (and if anyone wants to help me write tips, please contact me!)
