How to jump to next break point in IntelliJ?

AFAIK, there is no direct F5 like in Visual Studio to jump to the next breakpoint without cursor pointing. The closest is the ALT+F9 that jumps to the cursor.

For quick reference, the most used debugging keyboard shortcuts are:

  • F8 Step over
  • F7 Step into
  • Shift + F7 Smart step into
  • Shift + F8 Step out
  • Alt + F9 Run to cursor
  • Alt + F8 Evaluate expression
  • F9 (Mac: Cmd + ALT + R) Resume program
  • Ctrl + F8 (Mac: Cmd + F8) Toggle breakpoint
  • Ctrl + Shift + F8 (Mac: Cmd + Shift + F8) View breakpoints

To note that there are some keyboard shortcut differences between Mac and Win/Linux. Full references to PDF cheatsheets below.

While in debug mode, and between two breakpoints, hit the F9 key.
