Visual Studio uses the F9 key to set breakpoints, by default, and uses the F5 key to run and continue debug execution. JADE uses the F5 key to set breakpoints and the F9 key to run and continue debug execution. Switching between the two development environments can lead to confusion and frustration when using the F5 and F9 keys.
The Editor Key Bindings sheet on the Preferences dialog now provides the Swap F5 (Toggle Breakpoint) and F9 (Execute/Continue) accelerators check box. As this check box is unchecked by default (that is, false), the behavior in earlier JADE releases is unchanged; that is, the F5 accelerator key causes break points to be toggled and the F9 accelerator key executes or debugs a script method and continues execution of the JADE debugger.
If you check this check box, the menu caption and accelerator key for the Jade debugger Breakpoints menu Toggle command is changed to be triggered by the F9 key. In addition, the JADE development environment Jade menu Execute, Debug, Unit Test, and Unit Test Debug commands and the JADE debugger Debug menu Continue and Animate commands will be changed to use the F5 key.
The setting of the Swap F5 (Toggle Breakpoint) and F9 (Execute/Continue) accelerators check box is saved when you extract your user preferences to a file and they are restored when your reload your preferences.
Changing the setting of the check box takes effect in the JADE development environment as soon as you close the Preferences dialog. It will not take effect within any currently active JADE debug session, and it is read only when you initiate a new debug session.
