Gutter

The gutter during debug.

The gutter is a vertical bar at the left-most side of the Code Editor. This bar, empty by default, helps you manage breakpoints (for debugging).

For each line, it can display different icons depending on the circumstances:

• : This line is where the execution flow is currently stopped at.
• : There is a working breakpoint at this line.
• : There is a disabled breakpoint at this line.
