Line and line number context menus should have an entry "Set/Clear Breakpoint F12"

Setting/clearing a breakpoint via double click on the line number is difficult to discover. So there should also be a corresponding context menu entry.

(I am using Spyder 2.3.2 via WinPython.)

@goanpeca, could you take care of this one? I mean, given that you've worked with the line number area :-)

[goanpeca]

Got it!

@ccordoba12

In what part do you think it would be best to introduce the breakpoint context? On top? or?

[Nodd]

"Go to line..." should stay first, I'd put the breakpoint options right after it.

I'm not sure if the other options are that useful here, but there is no harm in keeping them since the menu is quite short.

@Nodd, could we work in improving the options displayed here?

I think the context menu in the linenumber should be specific to the line number. All those other options make no real sense there....

[Nodd]

I'd just keep "Go to line" and set/clear breakpoints, these are the only line-related options.

We could add:

• Remove the Line (Ctrl+D)
• Run the line if there is already an option for this, I don't remember
• Run cell (since cell markers are displayed in the line number area). There are many of them, like run and go to next cell (I don't know since a never use them)

That's all I can think of right now.

@Nodd awesome thanks for the feedback.
