Python debugger: Should support "Set Instruction Pointer"
« on: August 13, 2020, 07:57:58 PM »
In Visual Studio  I think this is called "Set next statement"
In Visual Studio  Code this is called "Jump to cursor"

Interesting, I didn't see you could skip instructions like that.  I'll take a look at it, but it won't be for the next beta.  The protocol calls are easy,   the ui side might be, but I'm unsure of a couple of the details there.

This will be in Beta 3.  We already had UI support for it in the front end via the "Debug -> Set instruction pointer", so it did not require many changes.
