Apologies if this is too similar to existing requests, but I'm keen to pull together a common request for adding debug contribution points.

Similar requests:

Rationale:

Debugging often needs deep integration between views (e.g. embedded debugging) where they are all driven from a common context and can interact with other. A common way to add these links/commands is through contribution points and some of the provided debug views lack these extension points. Can I suggest contribution points in context menus for the following:

  • Watch view (e.g. to open the value in a memory viewer)
  • Breakpoints view (e.g. to expose a 'run to breakpoint' command)
  • Disassembly view (e.g. to show source, manage breakpoints, show memory)
  • Debug viewlet bar (e.g. to add a command to launch a custom GUI to create a complex debug configuration)

I assume this is the debug viewlet:

Happy to work on a PR if this is of interest.
