Silly number of  files open in the editor after debugging.

Hi.
Lazarus newbie here. Ex Delphi user.

While stepping into and over the code with F7 and F8 i often end up
having silly number of  files open in the editor.

I trust that the stuff/libraries/etc that came with Lazarus/fpc  is ok
code, and i really only want to play with my *own* code. So having
"ComCtrls" or similar open automatically is something that i don't
need. And when needed i can open these "ComCtrls" files with right
click+Find Declaration.

Can this helpful thingy be avoided somehow - other than being really
careful with F7 and F8?

Recompile the packages for those file, but without debug info.

Also here i a trick. Before debugging, save your project, and session
(should happen automatically, because it gets compiled, but I am nnot
sure it will include the session / Menu > project > SAve project / or
toolbuutton save all).

Then after debugging, reopen the project (first project in recent list
/ Project menu), of course save any changed files first (but just the
files, do not save all).
Then it restores the session.

Yeah I know would be nice if there were dedicated ways to keep various
sessions ... but now thats all there is.
