Make Playground manual/automatic excution a menu item

In order to set playgrounds to execute manually vs. automatic you have to click the upsdie down triangle on the bottom bar next to the run/stop button. Unfortunately the triangle is almost impossible to click. Either make the triangle bigger or make the manual vs. auto setting configurable in settings or make it a menu item under the Editor menu.

If you click and drag the down pointing arrow, the pop up appears easiliy. But if you just click on the downpointing arrow, it is effectively difficult to open this menu.


Otherwise send a bug report.

Yes, but if you do a long press on the play button you get the menu as well. But right clicking on the play button does nothing.

Either make the triangle bigger or make the manual vs. auto setting configurable in settings or make it a menu item under the Editor menu.

Regardless of what workarounds you find, the best way to get feedback like this to the folks working on the code is to put in a bug report.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.

The same occurs in other places of XCode.


For instance, there are small point arrows (up and down) in the console window at the extreme bottom left. Long press calls a menu ; right click doesn't.


Seems like a design decision for XCode.
