How to use the "jump to cursor" debugger command when debugging Python in Visual Studio Code

Question

Python debugger supports the jump command to set the next line to be executed.

Can I use this feature when debugging Python code in VS Code?

Answer 1

v1.36 of vscode has added this "jump to cursor" functionality, see debug: jump to cursor in release notes .

Jump to cursor

We have added a new debug command Jump to Cursor, which lets you move program execution to a new location without executing any of the code in between. If Jump to Cursor is supported by a debugger, the new command appears in the editor context menu and Command Palette while debugging. Currently this command is only available from the C# extension, but other debug extensions should follow soon.

Now the Python debugger must add the feature.

And there will be a Command Palette alias Set Next Statement added soon, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/commit/fb28cedc37fcdd589f6a7d35ef093f324d649a3c (Introduce "Set Next Statement" as an alias for Jump to Cursor).
