    text
    copied!<blockquote> <p>Edit: Visual Studio 2015's new exception window is so much faster than the old dialog that I no longer care as much about using a keyboard shortcut for it.</p> </blockquote> <p>Is there a macro or keyboard shortcut that will toggle "break when an exception is thrown" without using the GUI?</p> <p>Opening the dialog with ctrl+alt+e and checking the "Common Language Runtime Exceptions" "Thrown" box then clicking OK is simple enough, but this is something I do a lot. I would rather have a keyboard shortcut for this.</p> <p>This question is a duplicate of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/323390/any-have-a-visual-studio-shortcut-macro-for-toggling-break-on-handled-unhandled-e">Any have a Visual Studio shortcut/macro for toggling break on handled/unhandled exceptions?</a></p> <p>However, the poster accepted an answer that doesn't really work, and I would really like an answer that <strong>does</strong> work.</p> <p>The answer in the duplicate question is not acceptable because it toggles only one specific exception, not the entire CLR group.</p> <p>"Well write a loop then." you say. But not so fast! <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsdebug/thread/b0efc1fd-879e-4882-8992-c0ecd4cd980f" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Someone tried that already</a> and it was uselessly slow. (Yes I've verified that its slow on my system as well.)</p> <p>So the challenge is to use a macro to toggle the entire CLR Exceptions category in less than 1 or 2 seconds. This question is a duplicate of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/323390/any-have-a-visual-studio-shortcut-macro-for-toggling-break-on-handled-unhandled-e">Any have a Visual Studio shortcut/macro for toggling break on handled/unhandled exceptions?</a></p>
