screenshot of lightbulb following search
|
Created attachment 117566 [details] screenshot of lightbulb following search Whenever I search for something, the editor places a light bulb in the left margin so that I can easily add an editor-fold comment. When writing code, I can easily ignore this. However, when debugging, I most often search for variables/methods/etc in order to place a breakpoint.... and its not possible to set a breakpoint on any line that already has a light bulb in it. See attached screenshot. You can work around this by clicking on another line first or hitting the hot key for setting a breakpoint, but this seems pretty irritating, because the editor is suggesting that this is something I always want to do when I search, and this is never something I do. I think there are a couple of very good solutions that preserve this feature for its fans: - In java, there are usually multiple options that pop up with alt-enter. Perhaps this should include an option for setting a breakpoint. - Better, IMO, would be to allow the user to click in the column but provide a way that a breakpoint can still be set. - Even better, IMO, is a UI option for turning off this feature.
