20.5 Interrupting evaluation

The button interrupts evaluation in the Listener. The break gesture key stroke Command+Ctrl+, can also be used.

This is useful for stopping execution in the middle of a loop, or for debugging. When the interrupt is processed, the debugger is entered, with a continue restart available.

If the Listener is not evaluating a form, then the Process Browser will be opened allowing you to interrupt a background process.
