Question

Answer 1

A workaround is to bypass the Eclipse feature to make the keys mode sensitive. You'll lose the ability to use the keys in some non-debug contexts, but at least they'll work for debugging.

1. Open the Keys preferences section (CTRL+SHIFT+L twice).

2. Click the Binding column header to set the sort order, and find the debugging keys (F5,F6,F7...).

3. For each key, change the When action value from Debugging to In Window. Alternatively, you may find there is something more specific than "In Window" that works for your environment.
