Description

Instead of having to "Stop" then "Start" again or "Stop" then "Debug" it'd be nice to have a "Restart" or "Restart in Debug" operation/option on the dashboard at least.

What about going from Debug to Start mode? Maybe for symmetry a "Restart in Start" ? That sounds weird. Is that just what "Restart" would do (instead of restarting in debug mode again). Some design work needed.
