Stepping to Base code

Tooling VS Code
1

Hello,
I am learning Julia with VS code.
I like to discover code using the debugger, by stepping into code I do not know.
Unfortunately, the debugger prevents me from stepping in any code that is not my own code.
Is there a settings to allow stepping into Julia Base code or any other library that is not my own code ?

If you go to the debug panel, at the bottom, you’ll see options for compiled code. Remove anything that you want to step into from the compiled code!

I did not spot these options. Thank you @mrufsvold for pointing me there. It works well now.

Sure thing! Just so you’re aware, the interpreter can be painfully slow with sufficiently involved programs. It’s best to be very selective about what you remove from the compiled code, so the parts you don’t care about stay fast.
