Qt Creator Debugger Views become Disabled

Question

While debugging in Qt Creator (ver 3.4.2), if I hit the escape key (which I tend to do often to declutter my work space), then all of the debugger views including the debugger toolbar become hidden (as expected), but later I can't get them back. If I go under Qt Creator's main menu->Window, then Views is disabled.

Here's an example of a basic window before I click the escape key. Notice I have all of the debugging views showing (i.e. Breakpoints, Stack, Locals and Expressions, etc...)

Here's an example of my window after I've clicked the escape key. Notice how all of the debugging windows are hidden (as expected). My question is, now how do I get the windows back? You can see how the "Views" submenu under the "Window" menu is disabled.

Is there some sort of "Show Debugger Toolbar" keyboard shortcut? Or is there another menu somewhere to get this back? Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Under the Window menu, enable Show Mode Selector. This will show a strip down the left of your window where you should see a Debug tab you can click on to put Qt Creator back in Debug mode.
