Easily Restart When Debugging External Executable
-
Hi all, I'm on Ubuntu 20.04, x86_64, QT Creator 5.0.2
I load an external executable with: Debug -> Start Debugging -> Start and Debug External Application
This successfully displays the executable and I can debug it as I would expect.
However when I stop debugging I cannot easily restart debugging the executable. Options/shortcuts like 'Start and Break at Main' don't work. I have to manually traverse the debug menu with my mouse and accept the pop-up window prompt as I did initially.
Is there some shortcut I can use to automate this?
Thanks

@RyanEdward Although not a native QTCreator solution, I use: C gist to simulate key presses on linux.
Mapping this binary to a keyboard shortcut on your native desktop environment can hack your way to a solution.
