Some commands in the debugger menus can also be actioned by selecting the corresponding toolbar button or function key or by right‑clicking in a window and selecting the appropriate command from the popup (context) menu that is then displayed.

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. You can swap the F9 and F5 accelerator key bindings, by checking the Swap F5 (Toggle Breakpoint) and F9 (Execute/Continue) accelerators check box on the Short Cut Keys sheet on the Preferences dialog. This check box is unchecked by default (that is, false). For details, see "Maintaining Shortcut Keys", in Chapter 2.
