In addition to these, several additional hot-keys are used for debugging scripts.

Note: If you use one of the statement insertion hot-keys, the statement(s) will be inserted immediately after the active line of the script. If you use one of the insertion hot-key combinations while holding down the shift key, the inserted statement(s) will appear before rather than after the active line.

Note: When inserting statement blocks (e.g., If-Else statement, For loops), you can select one or more statements in an existing script (by left-clicking and dragging the line numbers), and when you use insertion hot-keys, GoldSim will “wrap” the statement block around the selected statements. Note, however, that this requires that the selection is a logically complete block of code (e.g., you could not select a portion of another loop).
