Description
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:
- Add context menu contribution point to Watch Variables Pane #150161
- Disassembly view: introduce context menu #129536
- Disassembly view: context menus #171548
And related:
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.
