Shelving a set of breakpoints
Answered
It would be nice to be able to save the current set of breakpoints somewhere, clearing them all, but in such a way that they can later be reinstated.
I'm thinking of the situation where you're doing some complex debugging task, and you have to break off to debug something completely different, but you want to come back to the original task later.
Perhaps it would even make sense to have a set of breakpoints associated with a Run/Debug configuration, so when you create a new configuration, you get the option for it to have its own "private" set of breakpoints maintained separately from those of other Run/Debug configurations.

Hello Michael,
It's possible to add breakpoint to group and enable/disable them all at once.
Feel free to create feature request to link breakpoint groups to run configurations on YouTrack: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA.
Breakpoints are part of the context. Check if saving-loading context using Tools - Tasks & Contexts helps
Looks as if I need to learn about tasks and contexts. I use an awful lot of IntelliJ features but there are still some unexplored corners.
