Debug view

The Debug view displays the target debugging information in tree hierarchy:

From the toolbar of the Debug view, these actions are available:

	Remove all terminated launches	clears all terminated processes in the Debug view
	Resume	resumes the execution of the currently suspended debug target
	Suspend	interrupts the currently selected thread in a debug target
	Terminate	ends the selected debug session and/or process (the impact of this action depends on the type of the selected item)
	Disconnect	disconnects the debugger from the selected process
	Step into	when debugger encounters a function, sends the debugger into the function but not into the next line after the function call
	Step over	when debugger encounters a function, sends the debugger into the next line after the function call but not into the function
	Step return	sends the debugger out of the function and into the function body
	Drop To Frame	reenters the selected stack frame in the Debug view
	Instruction Stepping Mode	enables the instruction stepping mode (in this mode, the debugger can debug the program as it steps into the disassembled code)
	Use Step Filter	enables the step filter in the debug mode
	View menu	opens the drop-down menu ↓:
	Minimize	minimizes the view
	Maximize	maximizes the view

From the drop-down menu of the Debug view, you can perform these actions:

Layout	changes how the target debugging information is shown in the view: Automatic - automatically shows the target debugging information in tree hierarchy; Tree - provides the target debugging information in tree hierarchy; Breadcrumb - shows target debugging information as a breadcrumb trail; Auto-Expanded Breadcrumb - expands the Breadcrumbs automatically.
Show Debug Toolbar	if deselected, hides the toolbar in the Debug view:
View Management...	allows automatically opening and closing views of the perspectives selected in the View Management window:
Java	allows manipulating Java programs (read more here)

Certain toolbar buttons - Step into, Step over, Step return, Use Step Filter, Terminate, Resume, Suspend - are duplicated in the context menu.

From the context menu of the Debug view, you can perform these actions:

	Copy Stack	copies the selected stack of suspended threads and the state of the running threads to the clipboard
	Find	opens the search dialog in the Debug view
	Relaunch	relaunches the selected debug target
	Edit debug variable scope... →	opens the Edit configuration window that allows modifying configurations, selecting a graphical client, etc.:
