Thanks @jrheisey. Just an FYI, as a workaround you can click the gear icon at the bottom of the breakpoints pane to edit the selected breakpoint. I assume you found this though since you just filed a bug on editing breakpoint properties.

Thanks @jrheisey, this is a good idea. Right clicking would be my first instinct also.

Fwiw you can use the cog icon at the bottom of the widget to edit the breakpoint. Not as intuitive though.

Edit: Carey beat me to it by .5 seconds, sneaky!

I keep forgetting those are at the bottom of the view. After over a decade using Visual Studio my brain expects them to be at the top of the view. :)

There is logic in that these GUI elements are a toolbar. Toolbars are usually at the top of the view for which they apply. In Windows application design they are appearing of the window where Microsoft calls the 'Status Bar'. Your implementation uses this one window area for multiple view contexts. I am not much familiar with other GUI design standards. In the DOS days, when I started programming, application design was all over the map. :)

It's purposely done that way because placing them at the top would make that area way too crowded. It already has the find frame, tabs, and sub tabs / navigation. Adding a toolbar would make it a mess of UI elements.

jrheisey commented 8 years ago

I don't mean the top of the application window. I mean the top and inside of each the view. For example the Breakpoint view or window pane.

Naatan commented 8 years ago

I know, we're talking about the same thing. My points above were for that area.

There used to be a right click menu for breakpoints but it disappeared in one of the major releases (8 or 9?)

It would be nice to have it back.
