Wish step and step through while debugging

In my normal IDE's for C and Delphi, I can step through the code a line at a time while debugging with the F8 key. In this mode the IDE skips any procedures or functions without stepping through those as well. The F7 Step into mode lets me go line by line including the other subs.

B4A's step always goes through all subs while stepping. I would love to see the other option implemented as well so I don't have to go through every sub each time.

Right, I want to stay in the current sub. It should still execute that sub, but not take me into that sub.

Hi Erel.

Thats right, the option its there, actually B4A has a great debuger. I think the problem its the inteface. As HotShoe stated, he expected to see the options as in other IDEs. I think most people preffer using a button rather than keys or menus. It would be wonderful if you can add The Step Over and Step Out as buttons in the debug toolbar. Maybe also rename "Step" to "Step In" to clarify its behavior.

Thanks
