Feature Request: "Attach" action improvements #11

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Hello,

I am an active user of WinPDB, and I'd like to suggest some improvements 
in "Attach" action interface. I am regularly using it to attach to the 
embedded scripts (I am not running a program under the winpdb2, but using 
rpdb2.start_embedded_debugger method), and there are some inconveniences 
in such use:

1. "Attach to script" action doesn't have a dedicated hotkey and/or 
toolbar icon. Though partially this can be worked around using Alt-F A, so 
that's not a huge problem.
2. When I just executed the "Attach" command, winpdb looks over the 
scripts running on the localhost, and shows the list, and puts focus on 
the "Host" editbox. It would be really great to keep focus on the "Host" 
editbox, but also preselect the first one in the list, if the list is not 
empty. So if there is a script being debugged, and the script is the only 
one, we would just press "Enter" to proceed, without the need to select it 
manually.
3. If it is the first time we are connecting to the embedded debugger, the 
well-known "You attached to an embedded debugger..." dialog is shown. 
Could there possibly be a setting "Don't EVER show this to me" on this 
dialog? I've seen it too many times during the last year, and I suspect I 
am not the only one.

Thanks in advance.
