It would be handy if I needed it in a loop that was going to repeat many times.

For most cases, I wonder if setting it up would take more time than hitting the brakepoint and moving the pointer manually.

I already rarely use conditional breakpoints for the same reason.

I feel you. It's annoying how the good stuff for debugging is hidden in some crappy menus in VS and IntelliJ by default.

About detour points: The second and third version shown in my post would be one keystroke. The first one is probably not worth it, unless they could be set in some sort of modal workflow, similar how setting tabbing order works for Windows Forms.
