Almost every action in winIDEA can be scripted using winIDEA SDK. Combining the scripting feature with the ability to trigger such scripts on an event, you get a really convenient tool that can be used to automate actions based on your use-case.
For example, you want to stop the CPU on a breakpoint and set some test values. Normally this would be done manually via Watch window, but this can be tedious.
A script can be configured to execute when the CPU hits the breakpoint saving time from manual input.
1. Create an initialization script via the Watch Window and save it to your PC.
2. Open Debug | Breakpoints.
3. Enable Script in the Action section and select your script. When the application stops at the selected breakpoint winIDEA will execute the script.
