# Komodo IDE

I use ActiveState's Komodo IDE exclusively for writing, testing, and debugging my Tcl/Tk code.  However, once I've set up the environment, I want to execute my code without navigating through the Debugging Options window.

To skip this dialogue window, we need to change our preferences.  

 - Click the EDIT tab on the main menu.

If checked, the "Debugging Options" dialogue will NOT appear, and your code will execute immediately following the press of the "Play" button or the F5 key.

- Click the APPLY button on the bottom right corner of the screen.
- Click OK to return to the main IDE window.  

- Now, when you press the PLAY button, press the F5 function key, or Debug > Go/Continue from the main menu, your code will start running immediately.
