# Debugging shortcuts - Run to cursor, Find next statement

By Roy Osherove September 4, 2003 In [.Net Original](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-original)

**Historical article** · Originally published September 4, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

Here are some common debugging tasks that I've found you can do with the keyboard:

\* sometimes when I debug I go to all sorts of places in my code, while inside a breakpoint or when debugging line by line. In order to quickly get back to the line that is going to be executed next - press **ALT + NUM \***

\* press **CTRL+F10** to make the program run up to the line you are standing on
