request: "Run to Cursor" debugger command

Reported by pie...@gmail.com, Apr 26 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.81 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
this is a feature request.

When debugging javascript code, it's very common to want to step into a closure, for example, with jQuery:

    $("#foo").each(function () {
       doSomething();
    });

there are two ways of stepping into the closure here:
1) step into $(), step out, step into each() and step through jQuery searching for the .apply() call... a mess.
2) or, set a breakpoint on the 'doSomething()' line, continue, clear the breakpoint.

this 2nd scenario is "Run to Cursor", visual c++ has had it since v2.0, and edge's f12 tools has it. (they use ctrl-f10 as the keyboard shortcut)

the action is simple:
- attempt to set a (temporary, invisible) breakpoint at the cusor. fail if a breakpoint cannot be set.
- continue execution.
- when execution stops (for any reason), remove the temporary breakpoint.

additionally, it might also make sense to add 'step over or stop at cursor'. which would execute a step over with an additional temporary breakpoint set at the cursor location.

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
?

Did this work before? N/A

ugh. i just found the "continue to here" menu it.

i assumed it didn't exist because i couldn't find a keyboard shortcut. is there one?

Thank you for filing this issue!

There is no shortcut for "continue to here" yet, but we are working on better shortcuts. 
Perhaps you'll be interested in issue 174309. I will close this one, since the command is there.
