How to disable all breakpoints in Xcode

Question

Is there an easy way to disable all breakpoints in Xcode? I tried:

• highlight all breakpoints
• click 'Deactivate'

That does not disable all of them. I need to select one at a time, and unmark the checkbox. I wonder if there is an easy way to disable a bunch of them altogether.

Answer 1

If you expand the Breakpoints section in the Groups & Files pane, you'll find two further subdirectories - Project Breakpoints and Global Breakpoints. Assuming that the breakpoints set are specific to your current project, your breakpoints will be listed under Project Breakpoints. Right click on this directory and select Disable Breakpoints from the context menu, which will disable all the breakpoints for your project.

Answer 2

With ⌘+Y you can enable or disable all of them.
With ⌘+7 you can actually see all of them.

In the previous Xcode versions,it is ⌘+6

Answer 3

Useful shortcut is "command y" to disable all the break point. You can toggle this command to disable/enable all breakpoints. This is for Xcode 4.x version.

Answer 4

From xcode 5.0 you can enable or disable all breakpoints in this fashion

Answer 5

You've gotta select 'em on the left under "Groups and files" (there should be a Breakpoints entry in the tree). Then you can right click and enable/disable from there. More info here.
