DELPHI IDE - Stopping F12 from bring up the ‘CPU’ Window

Question

I am busy developing a Delphi App that uses F12

When I am running the software under the Delphi IDE and press F12 the program stops and the ‘CPU’ window opens up

What can I do to stop the Delphi IDE from doing this when F12 is pressed ?

Answer 1

Change the value of this registry key..

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug\UserDebuggerHotKey

..to 0x13 (19 in decimal). This changes the key from f12 to pause/break. You will need to reboot for this change to take effect.
