F8 button like in Navigator

Toad for Oracle & DevOps Toolkit Idea Pond
1

A customer who is a long-time user of Navigator wants to upgrade to TOAD.

He would like the behavior of the F8 button in Navigator to be replicated in TOAD. In Navigator, when executed, the cursor would run the command and stop at the next one. If execution failed, it would stop there. This step-by-step cursor execution behavior was very useful for the DBA.

Toad can already do this.

Assuming you already have a script in the editor:

  1. on the main menu, click Debug -> Script Debugger
  2. Shift+F8 (Step over) will take you statement by statement.

If you really want the shortcut to be F8, you can change it in Options -> Toolbars/Menus -Shortcuts (but then you'll need to change the shortcut for SQL Recall, because that is what is set to F8 by default)
