Keyboard Shortcuts in the Basic IDE

In the Basic IDE you can use the following keyboard shortcuts:

Action Keyboard shortcut
Run code starting from the first line, or from the current breakpoint, if the program stopped there before F5
Stop Alt+F5
Stop, then start again from the first line Shift+F5
Add watch for the variable at the cursor F7
Single step through each statement, starting at the first line or at that statement where the program execution stopped before F8
Single step as with F8, but a function call is considered to be only one statement Shift+F8
Set or remove a breakpoint at the current line or all breakpoints in the current selection F9 (Mac special use)
Enable/disable the breakpoint at the current line or all breakpoints in the current selection Shift+F9

A running macro can be aborted with Shift+Ctrl+Q, also from outside of the Basic IDE. If you are inside the Basic IDE and the macro halts at a breakpoint, Shift+Ctrl+Q stops execution of the macro, but you can recognize this only after the next F5, F8, or Shift+F8.
