(Continued from page 1) Go to Window → Preferences → General → Keys. The View tab shows the various shortcut key combinations that already exist. In the Run/Debug Category shown below, there is no key combination for the Terminate command. ![]() On the Modify tab, we can assign a key combination to the Terminate command. In the Command area, I selected the 'Run/Debug' category followed by the command name 'Terminate'. In the Key Sequence area, I clicked in the Name box and then clicked and held the control button, shift button, and period button. The resulting key combination is shown in the Name box. After that, I clicked the Add button. ![]() After clicking the Add button, we get some triangle thingies next to our command and key sequence. ![]() If you click back to the View tab, you can see that the 'Ctrl+Shift+.' key sequence now exists in the listing for the Run/Debug category's Terminate command. ![]() After doing that, we can now hit the Control, Shift, and Period combination to terminate our debug configuration!
