Tip/feature request: Pause running program [message #37017]

Hi,
This tip works when debugging with TheIde using GDB on Ubuntu.

When I'm debugging Upp programs, I often find myself wanting to add a new breakpoint to see some state somewhere in my code.
Until now I have always stopped program, set a breakpoint and restart program. I always missed the possibility to add breakpoints on the fly during execution, I can add them with F9, but GDB wont recognize it until it has stopped execution.
Also sometimes I miss a pause button to see whatever loop/deadlock causes my program to hang.

Solution:
From a terminal simply run:

kill -INT <process id>

Where the process id is the program being debugged.

Could this be implemented in the IDE as a pause button alongside the other debugging controls?
Or run automaticly if one inserts a breakpoint into a running program, like: <Pause><Add breakpoint><Continue>?
