Add method to skip list questions
Hi, when you use the add method to skip list button is there a way to remove the method from the skip list later? I would also like to know can you see the list of methods to be skipped? Thanks

You can check the list at Settings/Preferences | Languages & Frameworks | PHP | Debug | Step Filters.
That helps a lot. Thanks :)
It would be nice if that location showed up in the search too, instead of just a toggle which doesn't actually toggle but runs the action again.
I wholeheartedly agree. I slipped and pressed the button to skip the method I had just started debugging. And there's nothing in the double-shift menu or under the help menu. But there is Step Filters and its subclass Skip Methods, which explains why it's hard to find.
Glad I found this thread, Same as Jeff. I clicked the button thinking it was the "order variables alphabetically" button and got the "(something something) added to skip list" notice then tried to debug it. Stepping into the function just skipped over it.
I expected that when at the break point at the top of the function that there would be a de-activate button visible next to the location where the activate button is to be able to NOT skip it.
Too easy to turn on, too not-obvious to turn off.
This is counter-intuitive indeed. It's a great feature, but easy to mistakenly click on the button. Now how to delete the skipped method?
You can delete skipped methods at File | Settings (Preferences on Mac) | PHP | Debug | Step Filters
Dmitry Tronin Thanks, I think this could be improved usability-wise. I'd expect to find a list of skipped methods in the debug panel itself, instead of having to go to the Settings, just like you can find the list of breakpoints there.
It would be great if you could submit this to our tracker at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/newIssue for other users to vote for.
