Yes. The easiest way is to double-click to the left of the line numbers in the editor. Shift+double-click sets a conditional breakpoint. A second double-click on any breakpoint will remove it. There is an open request to add a breakpoint toolbar [1], so please star the issue if you feel like that's an important feature. 2) Is there a way to add a breakpoint while the debugger is running? > Yes, but you have to use command-line pdb commands to do it. The inability to set a new breakpoint through the editor after a debugging session has already launched is a known limitation right now that will likely be addressed in a future release [2].
