Thank you for the tip, though I was doing that already. It is very helpful, for sure, but it also adds quite a few extra keystrokes on to each debbugs session. :) I'll probably throw together a macro for this, but I still wish to advocate for built-in customizability as I'm sure that would be the better long term solution, whenever you have the time to implement the variables.

Thank you again!
