In case you want to set a breakpoint at a given function, and not at the current line, you don’t have to search for the function name to hit F9.  You can press Ctrl+B (general development settings) to do a Debug – Break at Function.

This command will bring up the Breakpoint window.

Here you can type in the name of the function you wish to set a new breakpoint at.
