Once Visual Studio stops on your line, you can set more permanent breakpoints by pressing F9. In retrospect, this was obvious: I've used Run to Cursor while in Debug mode for years. And, to add insult ...

Remote debugging in Visual Studio allows you to step through code, set breakpoints, review objects, inspect the stack, and catch errors on a remote server just as if you were running the code locally.

For example, Copilot can now suggest appropriate locations for breakpoints and tracepoints based on current context.

Not just debugging in Visual Studio 2022 17.12. The debugging functions, which Microsoft describes in detail in a blog post, are only part of the new features in 2022 17.12.
