Description Tim C CLA 2003-05-21 11:41:49 EDT
The ability to set a breakpoint in vertical ruler (or otherwise) from the 
search view would be quite helpful.  Ideally I envision using either a right-
click menu option from within the search results view, or a search view toolbar 
option to set breakpoints to ALL search results.  The major usefulness would 
happen when using multiple highligted search results.  

I commonly come across cases where setting a break point to each line found 
after search results of a References type of search is necessary.  Thus, 
allowing traces back to the source of an intantiation.

More specifically this would allow one to search all references of the object 
type, set breaks to all those results, run the application to verify which 
references are hit for the scenario run.  

Additionally, instead of requiring the user to record each of these places that 
were hit for a particular scenario, an additional enhancement would be the 
ability to save the set of breakpoints encountered under some label/name 
(though I believe something similar to this last point already exists).  This 
would eliminate the need to manually remove those that were not encountered.
