What for? I don't know a single F key shortcut. People say debugging, which seems fair enough. I guess I've always found the mouse-based controls sufficient to use the Xcode debugger.

Apart from the debugger, what do people need the F keys for? Are people really debugging that often?

I use a hell of a lot of keyboard shortcuts, mind you. But none of them are F keys.

Don't people say that debugging is the longest part of development?

"Debugging" as a general term maybe, but "using a literal debugger with breakpoints and stuff" is much rarer. At least for me.
