Open Source/Header File
|
Does either of the following:
- If the implementation file (.cpp) is displayed in the Code Editor, opens the header file (.h).
- If the header file (.h) is displayed in the Code Editor, opens the implementation file (.cpp).

Open File at Cursor
|
Searches for and attempts to open a source file whose name matches the text currently under the cursor. Then either:
- Opens the source file by that name (if one exists).
- Displays the Open dialog (if a file by that name does not exist in the search path), so that you can browse to the location of a file you want to open.
The file is opened in a new Code Editor page.
Unit scope names are now used to help locate the correct file. Every project has a set of default unit scopes that the IDE can use to search for units if the unqualified unit name is not found.
For example, if you point to FMX.Controls.pas and select Open File at Cursor, the IDE searches for the unit-scoped name first (FMX.Controls.pas) and then looks for the unscoped unit name (Controls.pas).
Then the IDE takes all the unit scopes defined for the project and prepends each unit scope to the unit name, until either the file is found or there are no more unit scopes: for example, Rtl.Controls.pas, Fmx.Controls.pas, and so on.

Debug
|
|
Toggle Breakpoint
|
Alternately sets or clears a breakpoint on the current line. See Setting and Modifying Breakpoints.
|
|
Evaluate/Modify...
|
Opens the Evaluate/Modify dialog box:
- If you right-clicked an editor token, the selected token is evaluated in the Evaluate/Modify dialog box.
- If you right-clicked whitespace, the Evaluate/Modify dialog box is empty.
|
|
Add Watch at Cursor
|
|
|
Set Next Statement
|
Changes the location of the instruction pointer (that is, the value of EIP register, indicated by  in the left gutter) to the current line in the Code Editor. Use this command when you want to skip certain source statements. When you resume program execution, execution starts at this statement. Set Next Statement is not the same as stepping through instructions; the debugger does not execute any instructions that you might skip.
Enabled only when the current source line has generated machine code (as indicated by a blue dot  in the left-hand gutter of the Code Editor).
Caution: Use this command with extreme care; it is easy to place your system in an unstable state when you skip over program instructions.
|
|
Goto Address...
|
Opens the Enter Address to Position to dialog box, which allows you to enter or select a symbol, and then opens the Disassembly Pane to the associated location.
|
|
View CPU
|
Opens the CPU Windows.
- If you right-clicked a source line that generated code (a line with a blue dot ), then the selected address in the CPU stack view will be the address that corresponds to that source line.
- If you right-clicked a line without a blue dot, then the selected address will be EIP (the location of the instruction pointer, indicated by ).
|
|
Inspect...
|
- If you right-clicked an editor token, the Debug Inspector opens and focuses on the selected token.
- If you right-clicked whitespace, the Inspect dialog opens, allowing you to type the expression that you want to inspect in the Debug Inspector.
|
|
Run to Cursor
|
Executes the current active program to the line containing the cursor.
