Setting signal breakpoints

You can set signal breakpoints (a.k.a., when breakpoints; see the when command or "Setting signal breakpoints" for more details) using a pop-up menu. Start by selecting a signal and then clicking your second (Windows) or third (UNIX) mouse button. Select Signal Breakpoints from the pop-up menu and you'll see six items:

• Add
  Creates a signal breakpoint on the selected signal
• Edit Breakpoints
  Opens the Edit When dialog. See "Setting signal breakpoints" for more information.
• Edit All Breakpoints
  Opens the Breakpoints dialog. See "Setting file-line breakpoints" for more information.
• Remove Signal
  Removes the signal breakpoint from the selected signal
• Remove All Signals
  Removes all signal breakpoints
• Show All
  Shows a list of all signal breakpoints

When a breakpoint is hit, a message appears in the transcript window about which signal caused the breakpoint. Breakpoints created by the when command are not affected by the Remove All Signals menu pick, nor are they reported via Show All.
