Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

I would like to be able to set the instruction pointer within the debugger via the user interface.

Whithin gdb this can be achieved via the "jump"-command plus a temporary breakpoint at the jump target.

This is very useful in many situations. E.g. when you accidently stepped over the important function and want to step in; or to repeat or skip a certain section for whatever reason.

It would be similar like "Run to cursor" in the Debug-menu but instead "Jump to cursor" or "Set next instruction".
