Why Restart Debugging? #74

Closed StanWarford closed 5 years ago

StanWarford commented 5 years ago

I question the need for Debug->Restart Debugging in Pep9, Pep9CPU, and Pep9Micro. (1) It is a menu command with no corresponding tool icon or keyboard shortcut. (2) It appears to function as a Stop Debugging followed by a Start Debugging, which you can do with two toolbar clicks or two handy keyboard shortcuts, either of which is preferable to accessing a main menu item. I recommend we delete it to simplify the user interface. What do you think?

I was adding it to keep parity with normal IDE operations. I can see where it might not add a ton of value. so I have removed it in 8e1ca81ce1925fa4fe44c77535b8125becdd0a92.

Much better.
