Hi. I am new to girder, so I may be asking a silly question (I DID search the forums and FAQ, though)
How exactly is "Highlight mode" used ? When I turn it on, I see that the next event highligts the matching action, and stops, showing a little question mark. I assume that the program is expecting some kind of confirmation at this point, whether to continue with the action or not. I cannot figure what the necessary action is, however. I tried RETURN, SPACE, mouse click, F5, and nothing seems to work.

The function of that command is to show what commands are being triggered by a specific event. Nothing more.

Thanks for the quick reply. In that case, can I make a suggestion?
It would be useful if one could "single-step". So, why not define a "stepping mode", where each command that is triggered is highlighted, and then the program waits for a specific keypress before it continues with the next action? in my programs I often use GetAsynckeystate(VK_SHIFT) for this purpose. Just an idea. I can see why this would produce issues with timer-related plugins, but still it could be useful.
