Keyboard shortcut to delete all breakpoints

In File > Settings > Keymap, you can set a shortcut for Remove all breakpoints (in the current file). Please pay attention that you can't undo this operation. 

Thanks for the tip!

Unfortunately, removing all breakpoints in the current file only is not very useful for me, since the breakpoints from a previous debug run are almost always in a different file. A shortcut to remove each and every breakpoint in the entire project would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tommi. There are two shortcuts you can add: Remove all breakpoints and Remove all breakpoints in the current file.

The PyCharm debugger is outstanding.  I have been using PyCharm for many years, and but I also have been wanting this exact functionality.  I finally did a search and found this write up.  I followed the instructions here, and I got it to work (although on a Mac, it is called "Preferences" not Settings).

However, I feel strong that the ability to remove all breakpoints from all files should be available as a menu command, with a shortcut.  I have used many different debuggers with many different development environments, and this functionality has always been available.  Most of the time, when I discover and fix bug in my code, I want to remove any breakpoints that I set to track it down.

I would strongly encourage JetBrains to add "Remove All Breakpoints" as a menu item, perhaps under the "Run" menu, with whatever keyboard shortcut you deem appropriate.  I think this would be a welcome new feature.  Individuals should not have to hunt down an obscure setting of keyboard mapping to add this functionality themselves.

Thanks for your consideration.

Hi Irv, 

thank you for the feedback. 

I added a feature request for this, please, feel free to follow: IDEA-240442. 

Thank you for adding a feature request.  I hope to see it in a future release.

Just wanted to let you know that I have just published a video that shows how to use the PyCharm Debugger to debug programs in Python 3.  Available on YouTube here:

Ctrl+Shift+F9 - this one works

Thanks for your comment Anichiporovich.  Sorry for the late replay.  I finally got around to updating to the latest release of PyCharm CD Mac:  PyCharm 2024.1.3

I was excited to try out the suggestion, but it doesn't seem to work.  

On a Mac, it's sometimes difficult to translate the meaning of Ctrl - sometimes it's Command and other times it's Control.  So I tried both, and neither one worked - neither removed any breakpoints.  

Still hoping that this can be implemented and in an obvious way.

Irv  How about using the Bookmarks tool? You can review all breakpoints and manage them there. 

Tao  Thanks for your comment.  That does help (I hadn't used Bookmarks before).  
But … I would really like a quick keyboard shortcut to just clear all breakpoints in the current project.  I tend to set a lot of breakpoints and then forget where they are.  So, I would just like to have a quick way to remove all the existing breakpoints before setting new ones.  (I worked on a system about 30 years ago that had this feature and I used it all the time there.)

The corresponding feature is implemented in Rider, for the other IDEs, feel free to submit a feature request on our tracker.

I have submitted this as a feature request.  (I hope I did this the right way.)
