Instructions

Settings:

• version = "9.0". "10.0" or "11.0" etc. As of this writing VS2012 still uses "11.0"
• "showbreakpoints" - Since this queries vs every time a view gains focus it may be a bit slow.
• "detect_slow_plugins" = false by default because the interface to EnvDTE is often slow enough to trigger this. If "showbreakpoints" is false this may also be false.
• "bponcolor" = "red". This is a colorscheme context. The default "red" value does not exist in most schemes. See below for instructions on adding it.
• "bpoffcolor" = "gray". Like the on color this default color does not exist in most schemes.

ColorScheme customization:

• Edit whichever color scheme you use, find the entries near the end for Comment, String or Storage and add the following anywhere within this group.

<dict>
	<key>name</key>
	<string>Red</string>
	<key>scope</key>
	<string>red</string>
	<key>settings</key>
	<dict>
		<key>foreground</key>
		<string>#FF0000</string>
	</dict>
</dict>
<dict>
	<key>name</key>
	<string>Gray</string>
	<key>scope</key>
	<string>gray</string>
	<key>settings</key>
	<dict>
		<key>foreground</key>
		<string>#808080</string>
	</dict>
</dict>

Sending Visual Studio Commands:

• The "dte_command" takes a "command" argument string which may be any command in Visual studio that can be bound to a key. To find a list of these command edit the key bindings in visual studio and browse your options for the commands. The most useful commands are under "Build." and "Debug."

Stepping:

• I have step in, over and out commands. They attempt to keep the view synchronized but since I have no way of determining when the step command has finished I don't know when it is time to update the view. I have a default delay of .2 seconds which is still not sufficient, but any longer of a wait is annoying.

dte_pick_cmd:

• This shows a quick panel with a list of commands to select from. Collection the command list is extremely slow so I do not suggest using this except to browse available commands for sending to "dte_command".
