Add a 'scroll to bottom' action to console view (run and debug)

Created: 06 Jun 07 10:26   Updated: 18 Sep 07 11:10
Component/s: Debugger

Build: 7,000
Severity: Low


 Description  « Hide
The console view (run and debug) scrolls automatically to the end when new content is added as long as the cursor is positioned at the end. As soon as the cursor is placed somewhere else in the text the automatic scrolling is stopped. That's absolutely fine.

Now the problem: If there's a lot of output being displayed very quickly, it's almost impossible to place the cursor at the end again. After scrolling to the bottom and before having time to click to set the cursor, there's already new content added and we have to scroll down again.

So please add an action to the context menu of the console view which scrolls to bottom and places the cursor at the very end in one uninterruptible action.

You can use Ctrl+End to navigate to the last line. And it's much faster than clicking for menu, searching the item and clicking once again.

Of course I can use Ctrl+End. But for scrolling through a long log output to find something specific I prefer to use the mouse, so my hand is already away from the keyboard. Then it is ways quicker to click for menu, choose the nth item (you won't have to search again after using it twice), and click once again. Remember that it's not possible to press Ctrl+End from a normal writing position, you have to move one hand to a different position anyway. And after all don't tell me what is more convenient for me...
