Stop/Interrupt for Script Designer

The script console desperately needs a stop button. If you accidentally return too much data or write an infinite loop you're in for a world of hurt
Also worth noting, when coding something with a lot of data, programmers often run pieces of the script to make sure it works, then stop it with ctrl+c, and go back to work. There's no need to wait minutes for a script to finish when you know it works in seconds
The lack of stop/interrupt is a real bummer, and a big "are they actually serious right now?" moment for experienced programmers
Thanks <3

I've never been able to get this to work. I got in a while loop with the console open this morning, and Ctrl-C didn't break it. Ignition 8.1.20

This feature will be added in 8.0.4. We added an interrupt command (Ctrl + C) to the Designer’s Script Console.

We're looking at making the script console into a legit debugger with breakpoints and the ability to cancel.
