Debug Console - ability to Pause

Everything - Debug Console - ability to Pause


option to Pause the Debug Console

or at least such that results don't scroll (temporarily)

cause often what you're wanting to see ends up scrolling offscreen,
so then you have to PageUp & hope that it doesn't scroll on you, again

perhaps when Debug Console has focus, <SP>, could toggle auto-scroll

What I usually do:

- Disable updates to minimize the extra debug entries (Menu => Index => Stop Updating)
- Start Debug console
- select some text in the debug console using the mouse (or press 'CTRL + M').

This will effectively halt Everything too, but gives you time to read.

- Press ESCAPE in the debug console to continue logging.
- Stop debug console
- Enable updates (Menu => Index => Update Indexes)
- Check statusb ar if STOPPED is no longer shown.


( but somehow I suspect you already know all this ...)
