In a recent usability study, participants routinely did not recognize that "Toggle Breakpoint" would perform the operation they wanted (to quickly set a breakpoint on the current line). When asked about why they had ignored this command, one participant said that the command sounded like it would transfer them to the next breakpoint, while another said that it sounded like it would be used to disable an existing breakpoint. Another participant clearly thought "Toggle Breakpoint" could only be used on breakpoints that already existed (consistently using "Add Breakpoint..." to add a breakpoint, and "Toggle Breakpoint" to remove one). I'd recommend renaming this item to "Insert/Remove Breakpoint", or if possible make it context sensitive so it says "Insert Breakpoint" and "Remove Breakpoint" depending on whether there is already a breakpoint on the line. These names have the benefit of sounding like they will create a breakpoint, but still seem distinct from the "Add Breakpoint..." command.
Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
its as designed for NB3.3 we can change it for nb3.4
Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD.
As of 3.4, the only place this action shows up is in the contextual menu in the editor. I think one can legitimately argue that it is a reasonable name given its functionality in just this spot. (I'm marking this fixed because it has been fixed by effective removal of the feature)
fixed by virtue of mostly hiding.
