How to add a custom XDebug Client menu to Sublime Text (on Mac)

Note, this works with this package: XDebug Client

Edit your Application Support/Sublime Text/Packages/User/Main.sublime-menu file and add the following to it:

[ { "caption": "XDebug", "mnemonic": "X", "id": "xDebug", "children": [ { "caption": "Continue", "command": "xdebug_continue" }, { "caption": "Evaluate", "command": "xdebug_evaluate" }, { "caption": "Restart", "command": "xdebug_session_restart" }, { "caption": "Stop", "command": "xdebug_session_stop" }, { "caption": "Toggle Breakpoint", "command": "xdebug_breakpoint" }, { "caption": "Clear All Breakpoints", "command": "xdebug_clear_all_breakpoints" }, { "caption": "Start", "command": "xdebug_session_start" } ] } ]

Now, at first all the menu items won't show, but that's because you haven't started a debugging session. Just add a breakpoint and start a session to see all the other menu items.

I wish SublimeText had a API for adding buttons for these, but I think this is as good as it's going to get!

See my configuration, as it may have been changed or improved.

Happy debugging!
