- `stepping_granularity`: Determines the stepping granularity.
- `save_breakpoints`: Whether the breakpoints should be reused across Zed sessions.
- `button`: Whether to show the debug button in the status bar.
- `timeout`: Time in milliseconds until timeout error when connecting to a TCP debug adapter.
- `log_dap_communications`: Whether to log messages between active debug adapters and Zed.
- `format_dap_log_messages`: Whether to format DAP messages when adding them to the debug adapter logger.

### Dock

- Description: The position of the debug panel in the UI.
- Default: `bottom`
- Setting: debugger.dock

**Options**

1. `left` - The debug panel will be docked to the left side of the UI.
2. `right` - The debug panel will be docked to the right side of the UI.
3. `bottom` - The debug panel will be docked to the bottom of the UI.

```json
"debugger": {
  "dock": "bottom"
},
```

### Stepping granularity

- Description: The Step granularity that the debugger will use
- Default: line
- Setting: debugger.stepping_granularity

**Options**

1. Statement - The step should allow the program to run until the current statement has finished executing.
   The meaning of a statement is determined by the adapter and it may be considered equivalent to a line.
   For example 'for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)' could be considered to have 3 statements 'int i = 0', 'i < 10', and 'i++'.

```json
{
  "debugger": {
    "stepping_granularity": "statement"
  }
}
```

2. Line - The step should allow the program to run until the current source line has executed.

```json
{
  "debugger": {
    "stepping_granularity": "line"
  }
}
```

3. Instruction - The step should allow one instruction to execute (e.g. one x86 instruction).

```json
{
  "debugger": {
    "stepping_granularity": "instruction"
  }
}
```

### Save Breakpoints

- Description: Whether the breakpoints should be saved across Zed sessions.
- Default: true
- Setting: debugger.save_breakpoints

**Options**

`boolean` values

```json
{
  "debugger": {
    "save_breakpoints": true
  }
}
```

### Button

- Description: Whether the button should be displayed in the debugger toolbar.
- Default: true
- Setting: debugger.show_button

**Options**

`boolean` values

```json
{
  "debugger": {
    "show_button": true
  }
}
```

### Timeout

- Description: Time in milliseconds until timeout error when connecting to a TCP debug adapter.
- Default: 2000
- Setting: debugger.timeout

**Options**

`integer` values

```json
{
  "debugger": {
    "timeout": 3000
  }
}
```

### Log Dap Communications

- Description: Whether to log messages between active debug adapters and Zed. (Used for DAP development)
- Default: false
- Setting: debugger.log_dap_communications

**Options**

`boolean` values

```json
{
  "debugger": {
    "log_dap_communications": true
  }
}
```

### Format Dap Log Messages

- Description: Whether to format DAP messages when adding them to the debug adapter logger. (Used for DAP development)
- Default: false
- Setting: debugger.format_dap_log_messages

**Options**

`boolean` values

```json
{
  "debugger": {
    "format_dap_log_messages": true
  }
}
```

## Theme

The Debugger supports the following theme options:

**debugger.accent**: Color used to accent breakpoint & breakpoint-related symbols
**editor.debugger_active_line.background**: Background color of active debug line

Title: Zed Debugger: Detailed Configuration Settings
Summary
This section details various Zed debugger settings, including `stepping_granularity` (statement, line, instruction), `save_breakpoints` (boolean), `button` (boolean, visibility in toolbar), `timeout` (integer, TCP connection timeout), `log_dap_communications` (boolean, DAP message logging), and `format_dap_log_messages` (boolean, DAP message formatting). Each setting includes a description, default value, configuration key, options with explanations, and JSON examples. It also mentions theme options for customizing the appearance of the debugger.
