[FEAT] Move Stop debug button

[Kochise]

Hi, currently the debug buttons are (in that order) :

• start
• execute line
• step into
• step out
• run until
• stop

Please put the [stop] button before the [start] button, I often click it when hammering the [run until] button and the mouse cursor moves erratically. Frustrating.

Btw, the [start] button doesn't pause/break the debugging at the current execution point when it's already active, it restart it.

Thank.

Hi @Kochise,

What version of Spyder are you using?

Closing because this is basically asking us to change our interface to suit your needs.

Not into telling you what my needs are, just that placing the [stop] button next to a button that might be used more often shall lead to such unfortunate event. Basic UI design principles.

That's why [stop] and [start] shall be grouped together (plus they serves basically the same purpose) and [execute line] and [run until] might as well be grouped together as well based on the same reasoning.

But it's up to you.

Maybe there's a way for the user to modify the buttons' placement (aka UI customization).

Ok, I think you're right. I'll move this one then to our UX improvements repo to continue the discussion there.
