# Keyboard Shortcuts in the Basic IDE

In the Basic IDE you can use the following keyboard shortcuts:

Action | Keyboard shortcut
--- | ---
Run code starting from the first line, or from the current breakpoint, if the program stopped there before. | F5
Stop | Shift+F5
Add watch for the variable at the cursor. | F7
Single step through each statement, starting at the first line or at that statement where the program execution stopped before. | F8
Single step as with F8, but a function call is considered to be only one statement. | Shift+F8
Set or remove a breakpoint at the current line or all breakpoints in the current selection. | F9
Enable/disable the breakpoint at the current line or all breakpoints in the current selection. | Shift+F9

A running macro can be aborted with Shift+Command Ctrl+Q, also from outside of the Basic IDE. If you are inside the Basic IDE and the macro halts at a breakpoint, Shift+Command Ctrl+Q stops execution of the macro, but you can recognize this only after the next F5, F8, or Shift+F8.
