Hi TouchGfx Team,

Could you please consider adding a menu item to start MSVS project \simulator\msvs\Application.sln ? Ideally a keyboard shortcut as well.

Thank you

Ferro

    Hello @ferro ,

     

    What exactly do you want?

    A way to start the simulator debugger in Studio code from the Designer (just like we have "Run simulator", you want something like "Run simulator debugger in Studio code")?

    And maybe a way to start it from Designer with a keyboard shortcut?

    Hi @GaetanGodart 

    >""Run simulator debugger in Studio code""

    What I mean is the same functionality as when I double click on Application.sln file i.e. MSVC IDE opens.

    I do not want to run MSVC Simulator ie executing the code, just to open the .sln project so that I do not need to navigate to it in File manager.

    Thank you

    Sth like this, I click 'Open files in MS Visual Studio' (and if still available some Fx key or a combo Ctrl+XY)

    And MSVC IDE opens
