IDE Suggestion for Debugging

Hi
I would like to suggest that the "Kill Program" icon be used to start the "Compile With Debugger" and then used to kill the program being debugged.
The button should be a green X which you click to "Compile With Debugger" and then once the debugger is running it turns red and clicking the red X kills the program being debugged. In short a Green X for starting debugger and Red X to stop the debugger.

Please don't change fundamental things others are used to since decades.
I know that would be a small one, but I always were annoyed from applications which thought it would be cool to move important functions, and since I'm an old fart, I tend to click on the place where the feature was before until forever.

I can't find anything with Microsoft Office anymore

I usually press F5 to compile and run. The red cross doesn't stop the debugger, but it ends the execution of the program being debugged, killing it if it gets stuck on an error and prevents it from being terminated normally.

Yes, Microsoft is the best example!
Never touch things users are used to!

I agree. I wouldn't want it changed. I thought we could add custom buttons to the IDE anyway?

HI, you can change the Icon for Compile/Run.
Menu: File|Preferences...
Dialog: Prefefences | Toolbar -> Change from Theme Icon: Compile to Icon File (choose the icon you like most)
I've never done this before, but it looks like it would be easy to achieve.

Very much agree with that. Although I enjoy working in PureBasic, I have a fear of future changes based on other users' preferences.
It does not sound like a good feature.
Sorry Simon
