Other Commands (not on Toolbar)

Command	Shortcut	Description
shortcut help	Ctrl+H	shortcut help
topmost	Ctrl+T	toggles the topmost attribute, which keeps the Debug window always on top. topmost is set to 1 when Debug is loaded; Ctrl+T toggles it, and it is persistent between invocations of Debug within a single J session.
writeline	Ctrl+W	writes the current line to the execution session
run next	Ctrl+Shift+F5	continue execution at next sentence, see below
stop line	F9	toggle stop on line at the cursor position

run next

If the run line is the same as the suspended line, this executes the next sentence, or the next line if none. Note that several sentences may be included on one line, separated by control words.

If the run line has been moved away from the suspended line, then run next has the same effect as the run button.
