How to leave the R browser() mode in the console window?

Question

I was trying to use the browser() command to debug earlier.

Right now, I kept getting the following in the console input window:

Browse[         


        

Answer 1

The help page ?browser says that typing c and hitting enter will get you out of the browser and let the function continue to run or typing Q and hitting enter will exit the browser and the function and take you back to the top-level prompt.

Answer 2

You will actually need to first enter f press enter and then enter Q. The order is finish and then quit. Otherwise you might not leave the browsing.

Answer 3

Turn off global debugging

debuggingState(on=FALSE)
