Docked view of breakpoints in IntelliJ IDEA

Tags:

I am trying to get a permanent view of breakpoints (or at least lasting until I remove it) docked next to the Debugger panel. E.g. I would like it to take place of Watches, since I do not use watches much. Currently, viewing breakpoints is done by clicking the small double circle icon in the Debugger but that pops a new large window that occupies most of the screen. I would like a small and permanent view of breakpoints (just like the one in Eclipse).

If you open up the Favorites tool window (Alt+2) you will see the breakpoints.

You cannot put this window inside the Debug tool window but you can have it docked above or beneath (or anywhere you want).

Or like this:

The last image shows the Debug window docked with the Split Mode Off while the Favorites window has Split Mode On

IDEA 2017.1.3 allows breakpoints to be edited (e.g enabled/disabled) from the Favourites window (right click, Edit breakpoint).
