How to jump to next break point in IntelliJ?

Question

How can I jump to the next breakpoint in IntelliJ, as I can in Visual Studio by pressing F5?

Solution 1

While in debug mode, and between two breakpoints, hit the F9 key.

Solution 2

AFAIK, there is no direct F5 like in Visual Studio to jump to the next breakpoint without cursor pointing. The closest is the ALT+F9 that jumps to the cursor.

For quick reference, the most used debugging keyboard shortcuts are:

• F8 Step over
• F7 Step into
• Shift + F7 Smart step into
• Shift + F8 Step out
• Alt + F9 Run to cursor
• Alt + F8 Evaluate expression
• F9 (Mac: Cmd + ALT + R) Resume program
• Ctrl + F8 (Mac: Cmd + F8) Toggle breakpoint
• Ctrl + Shift + F8 (Mac: Cmd + Shift + F8) View breakpoints

To note that there are some keyboard shortcut differences between Mac and Win/Linux. Full references to PDF cheatsheets below.

Solution 3

In Windows use F9 key to move next debug

If F9 is a bit far from 1-hand on mouse, you can re-assign and find keyboard shortcuts in Settings > Keymap
