Layout

The debugger interface looks like below. It is comprised of 4 panes as follows:

Debugger Mode Interface

XML documents and XSL stylesheets or XQuery documents that were opened in Editor perspective are automatically sorted into the first two panes. When multiple files of each type are opened, the individual documents and stylesheets are separated using the familiar tab management system of the Editor perspective. Selecting a tab brings the document or stylesheet into focus and enables editing without toggling back to the Editor perspective.

When editing in the Editor perspective the editor toolbar is displayed. In Debugger mode this toolbar is not available, however the functions are still accessible from the Document menu and the context menus that are activated by a right click of the mouse. On Windows the context menu can be displayed with the mouse on a right click or with the keyboard by pressing the special context menu key available on Windows keyboards. Bookmarks are replaced by breakpoints in Debugger perspective.

During debugging the current execution node is highlighted in both document (XML) and XSLT/XQuery views.
