Here's a more radical solution, which I think I suggested several years ago but never followed up on. The Stepper is not an action, but a toggle switch, whose setting affects both the Definitions pane (via Run) and the Interactions pane (repl). > >> >> A related wish-list item: I'd like to be able to select a section of code in >> Definitions, hit "Step", and single-step through only that part of the code. >> Sure, go ahead and EVALUATE everything before that, but don't turn on the >> Stepper until you get to that section of code. > > Your wish is granted retroactively! > > Do exactly what you describe, and choose "Jump to Highlighted Code" from the > stepper's "Jump to..." menu. Talk about customer service! Seriously, I had a feeling there was something like that, but didn't take the time to open DrR and look for it.
