Setting breakpoints in Visual Studio Code for Autohotkey scripts

Question

This AutoHotKey (AHK) forum post ends with suggesting there is no current way to set breakpoints for an Autohotkey script in Visual Studio Code. The post ends suggesting that Xdebug may work. Is anyone in this forum aware of any way to set breakpoints and step thru an AHK script in Visual Studio Code?

Answer 1

Bear in mind that you're referencing a 2015 post...

At this point (May 2021), VSCode is by far the best approach and the most comprehensive when it comes to debugging AHK.

Here's a guide on how to get it running and debugging in a couple of minutes.
