Description
Prerequisites
- I have written a descriptive issue title.
- I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
Summary
Sometimes there are some large parts of the code that I want to skip but only after I make sure that the previous live(first breakpoint) was executed with correct results. Right now, I adding the second breakpoint at the line that I want to halt code execution and I'm hitting F5, then I'm removing the breakpoint and I'm back to line-by-line debugging. The whole process will be repeated again if I want to follow the same code path.

Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the extension entry point for debugging commands and any existing breakpoint-related tests, then trace how a debugging action is exposed in VS Code. Done means a temporary breakpoint action can run to the cursor and be used again without manually creating and removing a breakpoint.
