Trigger points can now be configured to automatically resume execution when hit, allowing breakpoints after the trigger point to be activated while skipping those before it,
201+
enabling more focused and efficient debugging workflows.
202+
<br><br>
203+
On enabling a trigger point a new option will be shown its left to <b>Continue execution </b> on hit or not
204+

206+
</p><br>
207+
<br><br>
208+
Once <b>Continue execution on hit</b> is toggled, breakpoint label will update to <b>[Resume on hit]</b> meaning it wont suspend on hit
209+

211+
</p><br>
212+
<br><br>
213+
Resume trigger also supports conditions, meaning if condition is met true it will resume the execution else it will suspend
214+

216+
</p><br>
217+
<br><br>
218+
Now when you run in debug, Trigger point wont hit, allowing you to skip previous breakpoints and hit on the actual breakpoint you need to focus. <br><br>
219+
For example, here <i>Resume trigger</i> was set on line number 7 and during debugging it hit on line number 8 by skipping all the previous breakpoints
