Maybe I missed where this was mentioned about the 2.0 release, but every time when clicking on the left side of the screen I get a dialog popping up asking about "insert $debug metacommand"? Is that supposed to happening?

I'm just trying to place the cursor to start a new line when it keeps popping up, if I click in the middle of the screen it doesn't do it, only when I click toward the left side to start the new line there that it wont let me without popping up that dialog. Otherwise I have to start my new toward the middle of the screen which irritates my OCD mind that wants the lines started on the left side of the IDE. Or I have to use the keyboard to move the cursor which is starting to cause some pain in my wrists(probably my carpal tunnel) so I'm trying to use the mouse more to move around my code.



PS. Yeah Yeah, so I'm not waiting 10-15 months before downloading the last latest version like usual.
Granted after becoming radioactive I only have a half-life!

That's not right. It's supposed to read: "You're going to code this in SCREEN 0, right?"

I'll have Fell get on this right away!

Pete :D

Yeah I experienced this too. Be careful not to click too close to the line numbers, now used to toggle breakpoints and apparently the offer to go into Debug mode.

Clicking a line number on the left-side column of the IDE sets a breakpoint, which is only possible in $Debug mode, hence the dialog. There's a toggle for that in the Debug menu, easy find.

I don't experience this, because I hate line numbers. The first thing I do is dispose of them when I download a new version. It's true, I'm not line.

@FellippeHeitor
Ahh, Ok Thanks. 
Shouldn't having line numbers turned off automatically turn that off too then?

@Pete
Me too, one of the first changes I make to the IDE when I get a new version.

Just so happens the program I am working is in SCREEN 0!!

Clicking to the left of a line of code, regardless of line numbers being displayed or not, is used to set breakpoints.

Thats a very small space when there are no line numbers present. I turn them off to maximize code area. And given the pixel density now a days, clicking in that first character space is a pain. don't think I could manage it on the laptop now.

Perhaps that should have been made a Right Click option?

I click so much in that area its going to be nightmare.... 😭

New version, new features. We've spent 4 months working on it, late feedback will be appreciated/considered for version 2.1.

Its not like anything is broken and I can turn it off, soooo.... you know all good.  I just must have missed that option addition.

But typically(at least on windows machines) you right click to add something(copy, paste, insert that kind of thing)
Using right click for this perhaps could open a dialog where you can choose "break point" or "Watch variable" or some other $DEBUG option. Cause if you right click in that area you don't even get the standard dialog popup with Help, Paste, select all, toggle command, ect.

Right clicking on a variable and being able to add a watch to that variable would be nice, as opposed to selecting it from a list. If it is supposed to do this already its not for me.
